A friend of mine has a 4-year-old child who still wets the bed at night, and the friend is very worried. They want to take the child to the hospital for a check-up but are unsure which department to visit.

Chronic enuresis can weaken children, affecting their physical health and intellectual development. The first step should be to have a medical examination. You can bring the child to either the pediatric department or the urology department for a check-up to rule out any underlying diseases.
