What to Do If a 5-Year-Old Still Wets the Bed?

Question

My child is 5 years old and still wets the bed. They sleep so soundly at night that they don’t get up to use the bathroom and often wet the bed! The adults are also tired, not allowing them to use the bathroom! Is this a disease? Should we go to the hospital?

Answer

Enuresis refers to a baby being over five weeks old and still experiencing frequent bedwetting, so the baby needs to have a timely check-up. It is recommended to go to a children’s hospital for further detailed examination, which may include routine detailed examination of the urinary system, such as blood urine tests, kidney ureter bladder MRI, and if necessary, lumbar sacral X-ray.
