What to do about pediatric bedwetting

Bedwetting in children is mostly considered by Chinese medicine to be a symptom caused by kidney deficiency, which is caused by kidney deficiency, qi deficiency, bladder deficiency and coldness. Most bedwetting in children before the age of 5 is a normal physiological phenomenon, parents do not need to worry too much, with the gradual growth will slowly improve, the awakening response to bladder filling, is a gradual development and maturation of the physiological process with age. However, if the child is still wetting the bed at the age of 5 or older, the possibility of enuresis cannot be ruled out. When a child with enuresis has a full bladder, the stimulus of a full bladder cannot be transmitted to the cerebral cortex, resulting in contraction of the forceps urinaryis after the bladder fills to a certain limit, but still in a sleep state, so bedwetting occurs. First of all, we should exclude that it is caused by the problem of lumbosacral vertebrae, in addition, local inflammation of the urethra, epilepsy, underdeveloped brain and small bladder volume can also cause bedwetting, so we need to go to the hospital for examination, clear diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. The first thing to do is to avoid your child from being thirsty for too many drinks, water and milk or eating fruits that contain a lot of water before bedtime. Remind to go to the toilet to urinate before going to bed, develop the habit of toileting before going to bed and try to discharge urine before going to bed. Parents wake their children up in time to go to the toilet before the time when they are prone to bedwetting, or call their babies up at regular intervals to urinate, and try to develop the habit of urinating regularly to form a conditioned reflex. Do not give blame and scold or insult the child for bedwetting, etc. Scientific explanations need to be given to the child in order to remove the child’s tension and maintain a soothing mood.
