Question
Now, my child is already in second grade, but last night he had the symptom of bedwetting. He always drinks plain water before going to bed, and he doesn’t like to exercise. I am very worried. I would like to consult with an expert: What are the reasons for my son’s bedwetting?
Answer
Sometimes bedwetting occurs when a child is too tired from playing during the day or sleeping too deeply without feeling the need to urinate. Of course, drinking more water before bedtime might also be a factor. If this situation happens, it’s advisable to check for regular urine and if a urinary tract infection is present. If this condition occurs frequently, it’s necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up. Sometimes, the cause of the problem cannot be explained. It is important to reduce the amount of water consumed before going to sleep at night.
