What medicine is effective for children's bedwetting

Bedwetting in children is a common problem in life. It is mainly because the urinary system of children has not yet fully developed and cannot control metabolism. Therefore, if children over 5 years old still cannot control urine, it needs to be taken seriously, because this situation is likely caused by urinary tract infection or diseases such as diabetes. It is necessary to check whether the child's urinary system is infected.

Enuresis in children refers to the phenomenon that children over 5 years old cannot control their urination, often wet their beds at night and sometimes wet their pants during the day. Enuresis is more common in children. According to statistics, 10-20% of children wet the bed at the age of 4 and a half, about 5% at the age of 9, and only 2% still wet the bed at the age of 15. This disease is more common in boys, with the ratio of boys to girls being about 2:1, and the highest incidence rate is in children aged 6-7 years old. Most children with enuresis can recover on their own a few years after the onset of the disease, and the recovery rate is higher in girls. However, for some children, if not treated, the symptoms will persist into adulthood.

Urinating during sleep at night due to irritation of the urethra, epileptic seizures at night, spinal cord diseases, diabetes, diabetes insipidus, etc. is not considered enuresis.

Some young children do not have the habit of waking up to urinate at night; some can already control nocturnal urination, but experience enuresis due to mental stress, changes in environment, or general weakness. Enuresis mostly occurs in the first half of the night, and in severe cases, the patient may urinate 3 to 5 times a night. Some parents ask their children to urinate every night, but it is difficult to wake them up. Even if they are woken up, the children may urinate anywhere (on the bed). For this, they are often punished by their parents, which affects their physical and mental health.

Treatment of enuresis in children 1. Eliminate the tension of children, and do not punish them;

2. Urinary function training should be strengthened at ordinary times, such as urinating only when necessary during the day, stopping and urinating when urinating, expanding bladder capacity and training sphincter function;

3. Try not to drink water before going to bed at night;

4. If you have severe enuresis symptoms, please seek medical help.
