Can children or bedwetting be cured?

When children are 3 years old, they will enter the dry phase, most of them will stop bedwetting at this stage. Bedwetting behavior of children from 3 to 5 years old can be temporarily accepted, because children may not be fully developed neurologically, reflexes have not been fully established. But when the child is over 5 years old and often wets the bed, you need to take the child to the doctor.

Bedwetting in children has two types:
Primary bedwetting: It is a condition where bedwetting occurs from childhood, continues until after the age of 5, does not go away. Secondary bed-wetting: A condition in which a child has recovered from bedwetting at the dry stage (three years old) but at 6-7 years old, the child has bedwetting again. Primary cause of bedwetting is that the child does not establish the reflex to urinate, or the process of establishing the reflex is not good. Normally, a full bladder stimulates the brain and the child wakes up to urinate. But those children who failed to establish this reflex continued to wet the bed. There are also children who often sleep with bedwetting because the bladder is not mature, this is a form of excretion disorder.
Secondary bedwetting is often a symptom of many different diseases, often associated with urinary tract infections such as cystitis and psychological illness.
Common causes of bedwetting in children include:
Heredity: If one parent had bedwetting in childhood, 40% of children will also have this disease. If both parents have had bedwetting in childhood, the risk of bedwetting is up to 70%-75%. Sleep disturbances: Children may dream that they have urinated outside without realizing that they are bedwetting.

Children over the age of 5 who still often wet the bed can also be due to lack of care, or excessive attention, stress, sadness, children do not like to play with other children. The child's mood will become abnormal, upset because he feels he can't control himself. This in turn affects the child's psyche, making them even more stressed, forming a vicious cycle that is difficult to overcome.

Experts recommend that you do not scold, ridicule or demean your child because of this disease. Children themselves do not want this situation to happen and are inherently very embarrassed and guilty. If a child is beaten or scolded, he will be both worried about bedwetting and afraid of his parents, so the more he loses confidence and stress, the more difficult it is to treat.

You need to persistently remind your child to urinate at a time when he or she is bed-wetting, it is best to set an alarm and work hard to wake the child up to urinate. Always remind children to clean the external genitalia to avoid urinary tract infections, especially for girls. Because girls have a shorter urethral opening to the anus and anus than boys, they are more susceptible to infection upstream, which can cause bedwetting. You need to teach your child how to clean the external genitals, which is to flush from front to back.
