Question

My daughter is almost three years old, but she often wets her pants. Sometimes, when she has the urge to urinate, she doesn’t know to call out, and sometimes she urinates immediately after calling. Is this a physiological disease?

Answer

There are three fundamental reasons for frequently wetting pants:

  1. Weak spleen and stomach function, leading to weak bladder.
  2. Incomplete or delayed development of the central nervous system, causing the urge to urinate signals not to be transmitted to the brain in time and accurately.
  3. Decreased contraction strength of the bladder sphincter, weakening its function, leading to improper control of urination by the bladder. These three pathogenic factors influence and restrict each other. It is recommended to actively go to the hospital for a check-up to help with diagnosis.
