Question
How can I change my child’s bedwetting habit? They don’t wet the bed during the day, but always have one at night, albeit a small amount. It’s a bit difficult to wake them up at night, and there have been no treatment situations since they were two years old. Regardless of any assistance, is this condition enuresis? What should I do? Which department should I visit?
Answer
It is normal for children to be able to control urination during the day by the age of 2 or 2.5 years, but they may still wet the bed at night. However, if a child frequently wets the bed after the age of 3, it may be enuresis. The diagnostic criteria for enuresis are: children over the age of 3 have at least two episodes of involuntary nocturnal urination per month. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a check-up, which may require treatment in pediatric urology or pediatrics. The doctor will develop a treatment plan based on the child’s specific situation, which may include behavioral interventions, medication, or psychological counseling.
