Question
Doctor, my child is 4 years old and has been wetting the bed suddenly both during the day and at night recently. I have warned her many times, but she still does this. What should I do?
Answer
The frequent urination is due to the incomplete development of the urinary nervous system, which cannot inhibit the sphincter muscles of the bladder trigone. It is crucial not to scold the child, as this can lead to fear and may exacerbate the condition. Pay attention not to let the child drink too much water. Consider that the child may have a urinary tract infection and it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a urine routine test.
