Question
A four-year-old girl is still experiencing bedwetting at night, while most children of her age have outgrown this issue. Parents are worried that this may reflect a health problem in the child. How should such a situation be handled?
Answer
Dear parents, bedwetting at night may be a phenomenon during the developmental process. It is recommended to observe whether the child’s daytime urination is normal or has a regular pattern, and ensure that the child empties their bladder before bedtime. If bedwetting occurs occasionally and does not significantly affect the child, it is not a big concern. However, if it happens frequently, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a detailed physical examination to check if the urinary system is developing normally. Pay attention to avoiding the child holding in urine during daily life.
