What medicine should children take for bedwetting

As parents, we are still worried about children's long-term bedwetting, because we all know that when children grow up to a certain age and develop good habits, the problem of bedwetting can be solved. Generally speaking, 90% of children's bedwetting is functional, which can be effectively solved as long as the treatment method is appropriate. However, if it is caused by other organic diseases such as diabetes, diabetes insipidus, or urinary tract infection, it should be taken seriously.

1. Don’t worry too much about children wetting the bed. Most of them are just a formality.

1. In fact, parents do not need to be overly nervous about their children's bedwetting, because 90% of children's bedwetting is functional, that is, it is caused by genetic factors and improper bowel training of children. Generally speaking, although this type of bed-wetting has a long course and is stubborn, it will eventually improve or be cured as long as the treatment is appropriate and persistent.

2. Only a small number of children suffer from bedwetting due to organic diseases of the nervous system, endocrine system or urinary system, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, diabetes, diabetes insipidus, urinary tract infection, urinary tract malformation, etc. These bedwetting are secondary.

2. When should you seek medical help if your child wets the bed?

1. Although children's bed-wetting is mostly functional, parents cannot ignore it if it lasts for a long time. Generally speaking, if a child over 5 years old still wets the bed, he or she should seek medical attention immediately. Because the longer a child wets the bed, the greater the psychological damage it causes to the child, especially for older children.

2. If bedwetting occurs suddenly when a child is older, it should be taken seriously and the child should go to the hospital immediately for treatment, because this condition is often caused by diseases of the brain, spinal cord, kidneys, bladder or endocrine system.

3. In addition, special attention should be paid to the accompanying symptoms of bedwetting in children. If the child not only wets the bed but also has frequent urination, painful urination, polydipsia, thirst, weight loss, headache, vomiting, convulsions, abdominal pain, back pain and other symptoms, it is a warning of the presence of other serious diseases and medical attention should be sought immediately.

4. For children who wet the bed, it is best for parents to take their children to the pediatric urology department of the hospital for treatment. However, if the accompanying symptoms mentioned above appear, the children can also be taken to the neurology, nephrology or endocrinology department for treatment.
