Question
How do you deal with a child’s frequent bedwetting problem from a young age?
Answer
Enuresis may be a sign of occult spinal dysraphism, and it is advisable to rule this out first. After ruling out the condition, daytime bladder function training can be initiated, along with avoiding fluid intake and beverages an hour before bedtime at night, and using an alarm to wake the child before bedwetting occurs. Parents can wake their child five minutes before bedwetting is expected to occur, ensuring they are awake and able to urinate. In most cases, these methods are effective in solving the problem. If they are not effective, medication may be considered. For children, their resistance is relatively weak, and they are prone to problems with their urinary system. Parents should take their children to a specialist hospital for timely examination and treatment, and follow the doctor’s guidance on medication.
