Question
What’s causing a child to wet the bed at night?
Answer
Bedwetting is a medical condition known as enuresis. There are three main reasons for children to wet the bed: 1. Weak spleen and stomach, leading to dysregulation of bladder vaporization function, often manifested as picky eating, anorexia, and frequent fever; 2. Incomplete development of the central nervous system, with urinary signals not being transmitted to the brain in time, often manifested as deep sleep that is hard to wake up from, hyperactivity, and inattention; 3. Incomplete development of the bladder sphincter muscle, with poor urination function, often manifested by low urine volume and symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency during the day. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment promptly.
