Question
My child has two to three nighttime urinations every night, sleeps deeply, and is hard to wake up. They have seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at Zhaoqing Hua Tuo Hospital and taken medication for about two months, but the effect is not obvious. What methods can improve the condition of enuresis?
Answer
Enuresis, also known as bedwetting, is an external manifestation of a child’s weak constitution and can have a severe impact on their psychological and personality development. Modern medicine proves that the root causes of bedwetting include spleen and stomach deficiency, functional disruption leading to impaired bladder gasification function and endocrine disorders, central nervous system imperfect development leading to inaccurate urine sensing signal transmission, and sphincter incomplete development leading to abnormal urine elimination function. These issues influence each other and can worsen over time.
