Question
Young children often wet the bed during naptime at kindergarten. How should this situation be treated?
Answer
Bedwetting in children is a common occurrence, which may be due to delayed development of the cerebral cortex, leading to the inability to inhibit the spinal cord’s micturition center. During sleep, the detrusor muscle may contract uncontrollably, resulting in urine leakage. If children are overly excited or tired during the day, their nighttime sleep may become too deep, causing them to fail to wake up in time when the bladder becomes distended. It is recommended that parents pay attention to their children’s daily activity levels and seek professional medical advice when necessary to ensure their healthy growth.
