Question

How to deal with the severe situation of a child wetting the bed?

Answer

Firstly, alleviate the child’s tension and do not punish them. Then, strengthen urinary function training, such as extending the time between bathroom visits during the day and practicing stop-and-go during urination to expand bladder capacity and train the sphincter muscle function. For severe enuresis symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical assistance for treatment. Additionally, enuresis may be caused by pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should consume a balanced diet and avoid excessive stimulation or cold foods.
