Answer
When a child experiences bedwetting, it is advisable to consider visiting either the pediatric or urology department for examination. Possible causes of bedwetting may include urinary tract infections, excessive fear, overexertion, or underdeveloped bladder. It is recommended to undergo imaging examinations, routine urine tests, and urodynamic tests for differential diagnosis.
