Bedwetting at night refers to urinary incontinence in children over five years old at night, which is a common symptom in children's growth period. The main reasons include bladder dysfunction, poor sleep awakening function, genetic and antidiuretic hormone imbalance, etc. In addition to psychological adjustment, desmopressin is a commonly used therapeutic drug.

Suoquan, a traditional Chinese medicine containing Linderae, Alpinia oxyphylla and Yam, also has curative effect.

After a month of behavioral therapy, they were divided into four groups for two months. The first group took Suoquan Pill, the second group took Desmopressin, the third group took Suoquanzhou and Desmopressin, and the fourth group continued to use behavioral therapy. The results showed that 37.5% of the patients in the group taking Shuquan Pill and desmopressin recovered completely, which was higher than that in the behavior treatment group (6.3%, ρ <; .7), 22.5% of the children in the desmopressin group recovered completely, Ρ< 72.2% of the children relapsed, which was 3.6%, ρ < .7) significantly more. From this study, it is known that the combination of Chinese and western medicine can treat children's bed wetting at night and the recurrence rate is also low.
