Question

Is bedwetting during the day and at night, with a hollowed-out head after sleeping, a sign of poor growth and development? After peeing a little, I realize it’s wrong and can’t control it; is this a disease?

Answer

Bedwetting in a four-year-old is usually caused by congenital spinal bifida or kidney Qi instability. Recommendation: A child can undergo a spinal CT scan to rule out congenital spinal bifida, and if this disease is ruled out, treatment can be decided on with kidney-tonifying medication. For patients with severe bedwetting, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication use are necessary to prevent recurrence of bedwetting. In addition, patients should also pay attention to their diet and psychological care. We hope that the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
