Question
How to handle a child’s nocturnal enuresis?
Answer
If a child has nocturnal enuresis, it may be abnormal, possibly due to the incomplete maturation of the brain, which has not yet established full control and expression over urination. It is recommended to take the child to a local pediatrician for a consultation. It is important to cultivate the habit of waking up to urinate regularly. Initially, a visit to the urology department should be arranged, including routine urinalysis and ultrasound, to understand if there is any inflammation or abnormal bladder capacity. If necessary, a urodynamic examination can be conducted. After excluding pathological changes, attention should be paid to drinking plenty of water, urinating at regular intervals, and setting an alarm every 2-3 hours to remind of urination.
