The best time to treat enuresis

Enuresis is a disease. After eliminating the organic causes of bedwetting, during the holidays, if parents can help their children adjust their diet, sleep regularity, etc., they may say goodbye to bedwetting. Deng Huiying, chief physician of the Department of Nephrology at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, emphasized that if family members and patients can continue to pay attention to their lifestyle, about 20-30% of patients can say goodbye to bedwetting simply by improving their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Generally, children begin to control urination when they are about three or four years old. If habitual enuresis persists beyond this age, it may be enuresis. In terms of treatment, we must first develop a good work and rest system and living habits to avoid overexertion. We must also avoid excessive exercise and mental agitation during the day, which may lead to excessive sleepiness at night. We can use an alarm clock to wake the patient and wait for him to wake up to urinate. If it still does not improve after exercise, you need to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment to determine whether there is any disease of the urinary tract or central nervous system organs.

Practically pay attention to the following matters:

1. The diet should be regular

Irregular food, clothing, housing and transportation can make enuresis worse. Try to eat within a fixed time as much as possible. Eat dinner early and eat less, and try to wait 2-3 hours before going to bed after dinner. Because 80% of the water consumed in dinner will be converted into urine.

2. Pay attention to water intake

Try to move your 24-hour water intake to daytime (until 16:00 when you get up in the morning). Avoid drinking too much water at noon, and limit water intake 2-3 hours before going to bed.

3. Have regular work and rest times

Staying up late often can worsen enuresis. During the holidays, children should pay attention to getting up early and going to bed early. It is not suitable to exercise too much or be too excited after dinner, such as playing, looking at mobile phones, and playing games. Especially, you should avoid making any noise one hour before going to bed.

4. Control salt intake

Dry mouth can lead to excessive fluid intake and enuresis even without excessive fluid intake. Remember to pee before going to bed, and remember to go to the bathroom again if you still can't fall asleep 30 minutes to an hour after having sex.
