6-year-old children still often wet the bed, may be many parents will blame the child is no good, in fact, it may be caused by disease. Tongtong, a 6-year-old boy living in Xihua County, Zhoukou City, has been a bed-wetter since childhood. At first, his family thought that it was not strange for children to wet the bed once in a while, and that it would naturally get better as they grew up. However, the older Tongtong gets, the more frequent the bedwetting becomes, and sometimes he wets the bed during the day when he sleeps. “The child is so old and still often wet the bed, what’s going on?” The family rushed to take Tong Tong to the local hospital, the doctor examined Tong Tong’s physical condition, and asked in detail about the “condition”, said: “It’s not a problem, I guess the child did not develop the habit of waking up at night to pee, and when he grows up a little bit better, don’t worry. ” However, the development of things did not reassure Tong Tong’s family, Tong Tong wet the bed more frequently, and every time the bowel movement is more difficult, stool is very dry. The family began to take Tongtong around to seek medical treatment for bedwetting, but, Chinese medicine, Western medicine have been taken, acupuncture and physical therapy have been done, Tongtong’s bedwetting problem has not been resolved. At the beginning of this year, her family brought her to Beijing Children’s Hospital of Capital Medical University, where the doctor found that Tong Tong’s lower back had some pigmentation, which was not the same color as the rest of her skin, so she was advised to undergo a lumbar MRI, which showed that Tong Tong was suffering from spina bifida combined with spinal bulge, a congenital disease that required early surgery. Over the years, her family had spent a lot of money on medical treatment and could not afford to pay for the surgery, so she had to return home and wait for enough money to take her to the hospital for the surgery. After returning home, Tongtong’s father borrowed money, in to a hometown borrowing money, he heard that the hometown of the child is also congenital spina bifida, and then in Zhengzhou University, the Third Affiliated Hospital neurosurgery department to the cure, and is now recovering very well. “The hometown said that when his child was hospitalized, there was a child in the same ward with a very bad family conditions, the hospital also charity, to the child to reduce part of the surgical fee. The doctor’s skill is good and so responsible, I decided to bring my child to Zhengda No. 4 Affiliated Hospital for treatment at that time.” Tongtong’s father said. At the end of February this year, Tongtong’s father brought his child to the neurosurgery department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for treatment. After learning about Tongtong’s condition and her family’s situation, Director Ma Yunfu performed spinal cord embolization and release surgery for Tongtong free of charge. After the surgery, Tongtong was hospitalized for more than 20 days for observation, and her problems with bedwetting and dry stools had significantly improved. “Most children with spina bifida and spinal cord bulging have a soybean-sized bag in their lower back since they were young, and the bag increases in size as the child gets older, so it’s easy for parents to realize that their child is sick, and it’s easy for doctors to diagnose what kind of disease they’re dealing with. However, there are also a small number of children like Tongtong who have hidden spina bifida, which may not have any symptoms from the outside of the body, only bedwetting, and therefore can easily be overlooked by parents and even doctors.” Dr. Ma Yunfu reminded parents that if a child over the age of 3 often wet the bed, it is best to do a lumbar MRI to rule out spina bifida, spinal embolism syndrome, once diagnosed with the disease, must be done early spinal embolism release surgery, so as to avoid the spinal cord spinal nerves adhesion, damage to aggravate the problem, resulting in children with urinary and fecal incontinence, lower limb dysfunction and other serious problems. It is reported that Director Ma Yunfu has been engaged in neurosurgery for nearly 20 years, and the intraoperative application of evoked potential stimulation under the microscope for the treatment of spinal cord bulging and spinal cord embolism technology is in the leading position in China.
