Which Department Should I Visit for a Child’s Bedwetting?

Question

I want to ask the doctor, which department should I visit for my child’s bedwetting?

Answer

For bedwetting issues in children aged 5 and under, we need to consider primary and secondary enuresis. For primary enuresis, we can suggest that parents remind their children to go to the bathroom on a regular schedule, especially at night, and wake them up to urinate. At the same time, we should also encourage children not to mock others with bedwetting issues to prevent them from feeling embarrassed. As for secondary enuresis, common causes include urinary tract infections, spina bifida, diabetes insipidus, and diabetes. If your child continues to have bedwetting problems, it is recommended that you take them to the hospital for relevant examinations. In this case, you can consult with urologists or doctors specializing in kidney diseases.
