Enuresis is defined as urinary incontinence during sleep in a child at least five years of age. Based on her decades of clinical experience

Professor Wang Sumei believes that the disease is located in the kidney and bladder

but fundamentally it is closely related to the liver. As TCM theories suggest

"the liver is often in superabundance"

which is the pathogenesis basis of liver qi stagnation transforming into heat

leading eventually to enuresis. She puts forward that the treatment should start from the liver

with clearing the fire and purging the excess in the liver and gallbladder as the primary method

supplemented by tonifying the kidney and securing and astringing

reducing urination and arresting enuresis. In addition

parents should pay attention to intervention and conditioning at home.
