Treatment and Daily Care for Bedwetting in Children

Question

How to solve the problem of bedwetting at night?

Answer

The treatment for bedwetting in children includes general treatment and daily care. First, any potential health issues should be ruled out, such as urinary tract infections or spinal problems. In mild cases, behavioral interventions such as scheduled voiding, limiting evening fluid intake, and establishing a regular sleep schedule can be tried. In severe or persistent cases, medication may be necessary. Daily care involves keeping the bed dry, encouraging children to urinate before bedtime, limiting evening fluid intake, and avoiding caffeine-containing beverages. Additionally, creating a supportive family environment is important to reduce the child’s sense of stress and anxiety.
