Question

How Should Bedwetting Be Handled in a 12-Year-Old?

Answer

Enuresis refers to the condition where a child over the age of 5 has at least one instance of bedwetting per week, excluding accidental occurrences. The causes of bedwetting are varied, including factors such as pinworms, urinary tract infections, and small bladder capacity due to diseases, as well as non-disease factors such as genetics and lifestyle habits. For bedwetting caused by non-disease factors, parents can assist their children in improving the situation through care and adjustments to their lifestyle.
