Question
How to permanently cure enuresis symptoms?
Answer
Enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, generally refers to involuntary urination during sleep in children. Generally speaking, by the age of 4, only 20% of children still experience enuresis symptoms; by the age of 10, 5% of children have this issue. Some patients may even continue to have enuresis symptoms into adulthood. To address this problem, it is first important to establish good sleep and hygiene habits, avoid overexertion, and master the timing and regularity of bedwetting. At night, an alarm clock can be used to wake the patient up to urinate 1 to 2 times. During the day, it is advisable to take a nap for 1 to 2 hours and avoid excessive excitement or severe physical activity to prevent affecting the depth of sleep at night. Throughout the treatment process, patients should build confidence, gradually correct negative emotions or behaviors such as shyness, anxiety, fear, and timidity, while also taking care of their self-esteem. Offering comfort and encouragement instead of scolding or punishment is crucial for reducing psychological burden, which is a key factor in successful treatment.
