Question
A 5-year-old girl has been diagnosed with enuresis. How should treatment be conducted to achieve better results?
Answer
Pediatric enuresis refers to children over the age of 5 who are unable to control their urination, commonly manifesting as bedwetting at night and occasionally as wetting their pants during the day. This condition is closely related to dietary habits. It is recommended to reduce the intake of sweets and high-protein beverages after dinner, avoid overly salty foods to prevent thirst, and limit the consumption of water, drinks, and milk. Additionally, parents should encourage their children and remind them to get up at night to urinate. Do not punish or scold children for bedwetting, as this may cause psychological stress.
