Question
My daughter is almost four years old and frequently wets the bed at night. She can’t be woken up even when called, and she also urinates involuntarily while watching cartoons during the day. The doctor said there’s nothing to worry about, but I want to know if there are any methods that can help her stop wetting the bed?
Answer
Nighttime bedwetting in children may be a sign of enuresis. Enuresis refers to children over three years of age who cannot control urination during sleep, resulting in involuntary bedwetting. Prolonged habitual enuresis may weaken the child, affecting physical health and intellectual development. If caused by a disease, it should be treated first. If not due to disease factors, it may be caused by poor living habits. It is recommended to reduce salt and water intake for dinner; avoid overexcitement before bedtime; and ensure the child empties their bladder before going to sleep.
