The dangers of holding a three-year-old child to urinate at night

There is usually not much harm in holding a three-year-old child to urinate at night, because the child's urethral sphincter and anal sphincter are fully mature at around three years old, so there will not be much harm.

If a child is under three years old, if he/she is held to urinate too frequently, it may cause the baby's bladder to be affected and unable to urinate independently, and may also cause anal prolapse or anal fissures, frequent urination and other adverse symptoms. It will also have an adverse effect on the spine and weaken the baby's awareness of independent urination, which may cause bed-wetting when he/she grows up, and it may also cause adverse psychological pressure. Therefore, when the child is very young, it is generally not advisable to pull out the stool and urine too frequently, as this will cause the urine and defecation system to be in a relatively fragile state and cause adverse symptoms.

A three-year-old child can be helped to urinate at night. You need to call the child in advance and let the child be awake before helping him urinate. This can reduce the symptoms of bedwetting. Usually, it is because the child is tired during the day and night, and may cry and have restless sleep due to holding back urine. You need to seek help from an adult to help the urine drain out by pulling it out, which can reduce bladder irritation, help improve sleep quality, and help children develop and grow normally.

Be sure to drink plenty of water in your daily life to flush the urethra and prevent urinary tract infections.
