Question
The little girl is almost three years old, but she still can’t control her urination. When asked if she needs to go, she always shakes her head and says no, but it’s hard to tell when she’ll end up wetting her pants. Some say it’s enuresis and it will get better as they grow older. Can pediatric enuresis heal on its own?
Answer
Pediatric enuresis mainly refers to the phenomenon of nocturnal enuresis occurring in children over the age of 5. Your baby is not yet 3 years old, so it cannot be diagnosed as enuresis strictly speaking. Moreover, there are many reasons that can cause a child to wet the bed, such as genetic factors, small bladder capacity, and factors related to detrusor hyperactivity. Most children can heal their enuresis behavior as they grow older, although some may continue into adulthood.
