Brief Answer:
Please provide me the detail and get a urine test done

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

I have gone through the query and do understand your concern.
Most of the children achieve bladder control by the age of 4-5 year.
I would like to know if he is not able to control his bladder since childhood or has developed this problem recently.
Is there any burning sensation or dribbling of urine. Does he pass urine while sleeping in night or during day time sleep also. Spontaneous ejaculation of seven during sleep is normal in this age. So I won't get overly worried for white discharge.
I would like to get a routine urine test done.
Please get back with the detail so that I better able to help you out.
Regards
