Is it normal for a five-year-old child to wet the bed?

Children's enuresis is what we often call bed wetting, which usually refers to the involuntary urination of children when they are asleep. Its symptoms are bed wetting at night, frequent urination, urgency or dysuria, and fine urine flow during the day. It is divided into primary enuresis and secondary enuresis. Primary enuresis refers to those who have no obvious urinary tract or nervous system organic lesions. Secondary enuresis refers to secondary lower urinary tract obstruction, cystitis, neurogenic bladder and other diseases. The occurrence of the disease is related to cerebral cortex development retardation, psychological factors and heredity.

Treatment of enuresis:

1. General therapy

Develop a good work and rest system and health habits, avoid overwork, master the time and law of bed wetting, and wake up the child to urinate with an alarm clock at night 1 ~ 2 times. Sleep 1 ~ 2 hours during the day, avoid excessive excitement or strenuous exercise during the day and prevent deep sleep at night. Build confidence in the whole treatment process. Gradually correct shyness, anxiety, fear and cringe, take care of patients' self-esteem, encourage them more, reprimand and punish them less, and reduce their psychological burden, which is the key to successful treatment.

2. Behavior therapy for children's bed wetting.

(1) micturition interruption training encourages children to stop micturition in the middle of each micturition, count from 1 to 10 by themselves, and then excrete urine, which can train and improve the bladder sphincter's ability to control micturition.

(2) Urine tolerance training allows children to drink more water during the day. When he has the feeling of urinating, let him hold his urine for no more than 10 minutes at a time, and train 1 ~ 2 times a day to expand the bladder and increase its volume, thus reducing the frequency of urination at night.

(3) Before regular training, he often wets the bed at night, and the alarm clock combined with artificial awakening allows him to walk around indoors, or wash his face with cold water, so that urine can be discharged consciously, with the purpose of helping to establish conditioned reflex.

Parents should find out that their children wet the bed in time, urge them to empty the residual urine, dry the parts, change underwear and dry the bed.

3. Drug therapy

4. Physical therapy

You can wake up regularly with an alarm clock, acupuncture, massage and other methods.
