Question

My friend, a 53-year-old male, suddenly experienced bedwetting yesterday. I would like to know the possible causes and whether treatment is necessary.

Answer

If this situation is occasional, it may be due to an infection of damp-heat toxins; if it is a persistent problem, it could be a sign of kidney qi deficiency. Both conditions are treatable, and it is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for detailed inquiries about the condition, tongue and pulse examination, and to receive herbal treatment based on the examination results. Wishing for a quick recovery.
