Question
The patient is a 9-year-old boy with good physical condition but has been experiencing bedwetting since birth, and his diet is poor. He has never received any treatment. He hopes to understand the causes of bedwetting and seek effective treatment methods.
Answer
Bedwetting in children, which refers to children over 5 years old who cannot control urination, may be related to psychological factors or other factors. Bedwetting can cause children to feel ashamed, anxious, fearful, and withdrawn. If parents use methods such as hitting, suggesting, threatening, or punishing, it will increase the child’s psychological burden and worsen the symptoms. We believe that it is very important to treat enuretic children in an environment of comfort and encouragement.
