Question
How should a 6-year-old girl who frequently wets the bed at night be treated?
Answer
The causes of bedwetting can be categorized into functional and organic. Functional bedwetting may be related to genetics and is often seen in nervous children; organic bedwetting is a symptom of certain diseases. Possible causes include congenital brain development disorders, brain dysfunction, missing spinal cord reflex arcs, or urinary system-related diseases. Bedwetting in children under 3 years of age is not considered a pathological condition due to the immaturity of central urinary function.
