Children wet the bed at night_What to do if children wet the bed in the middle of the night

If the baby wets the bed, it is undoubtedly a big worry for the mother. If the baby wets the bed, the mother has to clean up the baby's bedding and bed, and also worry about whether the baby will catch a cold. There are many reasons for children to wet the bed at night, such as enuresis, drinking too much water before going to bed, and genetic factors. First of all, we must find the cause of the baby's bedwetting and then improve it. What should we do if children wet the bed at night? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What should I do if my child wets the bed at night?

1. Behavioral therapy

(1) Urinary interruption training: Encourage the child to interrupt urination in the middle of each urination, count from 1 to 10, and then urinate completely. This can train and improve the bladder sphincter's ability to control urination.

(2) Urine retention training: Let your child drink plenty of water during the day. When he feels the urge to urinate, let him hold his urine for no more than 10 minutes each time. Do this training 1 to 2 times a day to expand the bladder and increase its capacity, thereby reducing the number of urinations at night.

(3) Timed training: Use an alarm clock to wake up the child half an hour before the time when the child usually wets the bed at night. Let the child walk back and forth in the room, or wash the face with cold water, so that the child can urinate while being conscious. This is also to help establish a conditioned reflex.

2. Physical therapy

You can use methods such as setting an alarm clock to prompt awakening, acupuncture, and massage.

2. Diagnostic basis

1. Medical history

Pay attention to whether there are genetic factors and whether enuresis started in infancy. Those who develop enuresis later and those who have urination symptoms during the day may have secondary enuresis. At the same time, patients with constipation or neurological diseases may have neurogenic bladder.

2. Clinical manifestations

In addition to bed-wetting at night, there are often symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent or difficult urination, and thin urine stream during the day.

3. Physical examination

Perform a detailed physical examination, paying special attention to whether the anal sphincter tone is normal, whether there is spina bifida, whether there is decreased sensation in the perineum, and whether the lower limb movement is normal.

4. Urodynamic examination

Uroflowmetry is performed to observe whether there is lower urinary tract obstruction, and intravesical pressure measurement is performed to observe whether there is non-inhibitory contraction.

3. Prognosis

Timely treatment and training can reduce the frequency of bedwetting until the symptoms disappear.
