Question

What should I do if my 5-year-old frequently urinates in their pants during the day?

Answer

Hello, it’s not possible to determine the cause. Generally, it’s recommended to first check for the possibility of a hidden spinal bifida. Also, be mindful not to overexert your child during the day, as they may not wake up easily at night if they sleep too deeply and have urine. Of course, also avoid giving them too much water before bedtime to reduce nighttime urine output. Additionally, it’s suggested to buy an alarm clock that goes off at regular intervals to wake up and urinate.
