Question
My child has grown up but still continues to have bedwetting, especially when they cannot consciously urinate during sleep. This condition may be due to urinary tract infection or nerve damage. How should we handle the problem of bedwetting in children?
Answer
If a child experiences bedwetting, consider whether it is caused by a urinary tract infection or nerve damage. It is recommended that parents pay attention to their child’s rest, avoid excessive tension, and be aware of their emotional changes, cultivating good toilet habits. With proper adjustment over a period of time, it is usually possible to gradually return to normal. To improve this situation, consider the following aspects: first, avoid giving the child too much liquid before bedtime; second, remind the child to go to the bathroom before sleeping; third, alleviate the child’s psychological stress; and finally, identify the child’s bedwetting patterns to take appropriate preventive measures.
