Question
How to treat urinary incontinence caused by a child’s sacral cleft?
Answer
If a thorough examination reveals that the child’s urinary incontinence is due to this sacral cleft condition, it is important to be cautious. Avoid having the child maintain the same posture for extended periods, such as prolonged standing, sitting, or bending. Also, prevent severe movements. If the situation is not severe, treatment may not be necessary; it might just be a matter of the child growing older, and the condition may resolve itself. It is crucial not to scold or reprimand the child after each episode of incontinence, as this can only increase the child’s psychological stress and offer no help to the condition; it may even have the opposite effect.
