Question
It is well-known that bedwetting is a common phenomenon in young children. So, is it effective to give children ginseng?
Answer
Hello: Bedwetting in young children is indeed a common occurrence. However, if a child over the age of 3 cannot control urination during the day or cannot wake up to urinate during sleep, it is called primary enuresis. The exact cause of enuresis is not fully understood at present, but it is generally believed to be related to the following factors: (1) Genetic factors: 30% of children with enuresis have a father and 20% have a mother who also had enuresis in their childhood. In other words, if both parents have a history of enuresis, there is a 40% chance that their son will have enuresis, and a 25% chance for their daughter to suffer from this condition. There is currently no sufficient evidence to show that ginseng has a direct effect on treating enuresis in children. It is recommended that parents consult with a professional doctor before considering giving their child any supplements and seek appropriate medical guidance.
