Question
Description: A 7.5-year-old child requires assistance from an adult to get up and urinate at night. If not awakened, the child will wet the bed. Sometimes, even when awakened, the child cannot fully wake up, and needs to be awakened one to two times each night. Various traditional Chinese medicine treatments have been tried, but the effects have been not obvious. Expected Assistance: Seeking improved treatment methods for the child’s enuresis.
Answer
Analysis: Hello, the unconscious urination of children at night is known as enuresis. I suggest not to blame the child but to provide encouragement and care. Limit fluid intake after dinner, urinate before bedtime, and wake the child up at regular intervals during the night. In the daytime, try to extend the interval between urinations to expand bladder capacity. Treatment Suggestions: Consider using parasympathetic nerve blockers such as Praprosol or Uromax, taken before bedtime to promote urinary muscle relaxation and inhibit bladder contraction. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
