Question
Every morning, the child often experiences enuresis, leading parents to frequently clean the bedsheets. What are the reasons behind the child’s enuresis symptoms?
Answer
Enuresis is typically a normal phenomenon in infancy, but some children may continue to experience this symptom due to pathological factors. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that enuresis is related to incomplete development of internal organ function, which may involve delayed bladder development or weakness in the spleen, kidneys, and lungs, leading to enuresis. Therefore, treatment should be judged according to each child’s specific situation. Currently, it is recommended that parents reduce the child’s water intake before bedtime and cultivate the habit of regular urination. As children grow up, their internal organ functions gradually improve, and enuresis symptoms usually resolve naturally.
