What department should I visit for bedwetting in children?

Many mothers often encounter bedwetting when taking care of their children. This is mainly because the child's body's self-control ability is not yet perfect. However, we need to know at what age children will stop wetting the bed. Generally, children still have symptoms of bed-wetting after the age of 3. I hope you can take your child for a check-up to see if the bed-wetting is caused by developmental relief.

To eliminate pathological phenomena in children's bedwetting, it is necessary to cultivate good urination habits in children. Babies can be trained to urinate at 2 months old, and get into the habit of holding the child to urinate before going to bed, after meals, and after going out. The mother should make some sounds to make the child have a conditioned reflex to urinate. From then on, when the mother makes a sound, the child will be trained to urinate. For a period of time, the child will not need diapers during the day and will only urinate once before going to bed and once at night, and will not wet the bed at night. Most children will stop wetting the bed when they are 2-3 years old.

It is normal to occasionally wet the bed after the age of 3, which is medically called physiological enuresis. Most children generally no longer wet the bed at night after the age of 5. If a child still wets the bed at night after the age of 5, and the number of times reaches more than twice a month, it is medically called "nocturnal enuresis." It is recommended to first check whether there is a possibility of occult spina bifida. In addition, be careful not to be too tired during the day, otherwise if you sleep too deeply at night and it is not easy to wake up when you have urine, you will also wet the bed. Of course, you must also pay attention to avoid drinking too much water before going to bed at night. Reduce the amount of urine at night, and it is recommended to buy an alarm clock to urinate at regular times.

In the early stages of treatment, parents should find out the time when their children are prone to bedwetting at night, and set an alarm clock to wake up their children half an hour in advance to urinate, so that the wake-up ring and the bladder filling stimulation appear at the same time. After a period of training, a conditioned reflex will be established, and the child will be awakened by the stimulation of a full bladder at night and can control urination on his own. It should be noted that when waking up a child to urinate, you must make sure he is fully awake and urinates completely while he is awake. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to establish a conditioned reflex of urination while he is drowsy.

Through this article, you can read the introduction of pediatrics for children who wet the bed. We all know that children's bedwetting may be a physiological phenomenon, and mothers need to educate their children step by step, so that they know that they should speak out when they urinate. This can reduce the habit of bedwetting and promote the improvement of children's control ability.
