What is the child missing when he wets the bed?

As children grow older, their brain and bladder functions gradually mature and they will gradually be able to control urination independently. Usually, they can control urination during the day and then at night when they sleep. Normally, children can control urination when they are 2 to 3 years old. If they still cannot control it after 5 years old, it is called enuresis.

Enuresis is more common in boys, with a male-female ratio of about 2:1. The highest incidence rate is in children aged 6-7. Experts remind that to prevent enuresis in children, they should be trained as early as possible before entering kindergarten or school.

Set up a schedule. From the first day of treatment, parents should set up a schedule for their children to record factors that may cause bedwetting, such as not getting enough sleep, being too excited before bedtime, being too excited during the day, and drinking too much fluid in the evening. Parents should pay attention to avoiding these factors as much as possible. When the child does not wet the bed, draw a star on the schedule and give the child verbal praise or material rewards.

Establishing conditioned reflexes From the beginning of treatment, parents should use an alarm clock to wake up the child half an hour to one hour before the child often wets the bed at night to urinate, so that the child can establish a conditioned reflex of the ringing sound and urination. In addition, the child is encouraged to urinate by himself. The purpose is to make the child urinate cleanly when he is relatively awake.

Exercise bladder function. Encourage children to drink more water during the day. Try to extend the interval between urinations. Increase urine output and gradually increase bladder capacity. Encourage children to stop urinating during urination and count from 1 to 10 before emptying the bladder to improve the control of the bladder sphincter.

It should be pointed out that some mothers often wake their children up at night and force them to urinate. No matter how the children struggle or cry, they will not let them leave the potty until they urinate. This will make the children fear and tense about urination, which is not conducive to cultivating their regular urination habits.

How to regulate children's diet for bedwetting

1. Spleen and kidney deficiency is manifested by enuresis during sleep, long and clear urine, fear of cold, pale complexion, and loss of appetite. You can eat foods that warm and nourish the spleen and kidney, such as glutinous rice, chicken gizzard skin, yam, lotus seeds, leeks, black sesame, longan, lindera scabra, litchi, etc.

2. Deficiency of both spleen and lung is manifested by pale complexion, easy cold, loose stool, fatigue, nocturia and frequent urination during the day. You can use foods that strengthen the spleen and lungs, such as rice, yam, coix seed, pig lung, white fungus, lentils, etc.

Causes of Bedwetting

1. Genetic factors have a certain impact on children's bedwetting. If one of the parents has suffered from enuresis, the child's chances of bedwetting are 44%.

2. The child's bladder is full in the middle of the night and he is about to urinate but cannot wake up on his own and is difficult to wake up (called central arousal disorder), which is the basic cause of bedwetting.

3. Most children have insufficient secretion of antidiuretic hormone (AVP) at night, which leads to increased nocturia, especially if they drink more soup or beverages at night, or eat more fruits such as watermelon, which will make them wet the bed more severely.

4. More than half of the children also have bladder dysfunction, namely reduced functional bladder capacity (commonly known as small bladder) or unstable bladder.
