Question
The young girl frequently wets her pants during the day, at least 1-2 times a day, and never wet the bed at night. Even with a normal appetite, body temperature, and weight of 16 kilograms, and bowel movements every 1-2 days, she cannot hold her urine once she feels the urge, resulting in wet pants. This situation has been ongoing since she started walking.
Answer
If there is a suspicion of urinary tract infection in the child, symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency may occur. If a smaller bladder capacity is found, bladder function training can be conducted: supervise the child to drink more water during the day and try to shorten the interval between urinations. Encourage the child to interrupt urination during the process, count from 1 to 10, and then empty the bladder completely to improve the control ability of the bladder sphincter and increase bladder capacity. If the child wets her pants again when she is tense, anxious, or excited, relaxation training for the child is the key to treatment. Once the child learns to relax, her overall body tension level will decrease, and the phenomenon of wetting pants will disappear. If the child is not accustomed to using public toilets and frequently wets her pants, it is necessary to find out the cause. If the child dislikes dirty public toilets, teach her some improvement methods, such as using tissues to clean the toilet seat before using it. If the child does not want to use even very clean toilets, parents must accompany her to find out the difficulties in using toilets until she no longer becomes allergic to using them. Praise her immediately if there is progress.
