Question
A parent of a 13-year-old child is puzzled by the child’s continued bedwetting and suspects it may be related to the nervous system. They would like to know what the possible causes of bedwetting are for teenagers in general?
Answer
At this age, bedwetting is not common. First, it is necessary to confirm whether the child’s bedwetting is an occasional occurrence or a frequent one. Sometimes, due to excessive daytime activity leading to nighttime fatigue, bedwetting may occur, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if the child frequently wets the bed, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the possibility of neurogenic enuresis.
