Question

Sometimes children in elementary school still frequently wet the bed, about every two or three nights. The child urinates without realizing they need to go to the bathroom during the night after falling asleep. This is usually not a problem for children of this age, is this due to a kidney issue?

Answer

Frequent nocturnal enuresis in children is usually not related to kidney issues, but at the age of 8, this phenomenon is medically referred to as “nocturnal enuresis” or “nocturnal enuresis.” Here are some preventive measures:

  1. Develop a habit of using the bathroom before going to bed.
  2. Do not let the child become overly excited before bedtime.
  3. Do not let the child become too tired during the day.
  4. Establish a regular pattern of using the bathroom at night.
  5. Train the child’s bladder function.
  6. Make dietary adjustments.
  7. Show more understanding and tolerance towards the child’s bedwetting.
  8. Try to find out why the child wets the bed. These suggestions should be helpful to you, wishing you good health!
