XXXX
Do nOt start medicines right away.
Detailed Answer:
Bed wetting could be due to
A)Your child producing more urine than their bladder can cope with
B)Having an overactive bladder, meaning it can only hold a small amount of urine
C)Being a very deep sleeper so they do not react to the signals telling their brain their bladder is full.
Constipation is frequently associated with bed wetting, especially in children who do not wet every night. In these cases, bed wetting may occur during the night when the child has not passed any stool (feces) during the day. Sometimes treating constipation is all that is required to treat bed wetting. Untreated constipation makes any treatment of bed wetting much harder.
Occasionally, bed wetting can be triggered by emotional distress, such as being bullied or moving to a new school.
In rare cases, bed wetting may be the symptom of an underlying health condition, such as type 1 diabetes.
Treatment :
1. Limit fluid intake after 8 pm.
2. Voiding just before sleep and once in midnight by sealing your child.
3. Treat constipation and urinary infection if present.
4. Bed wetting alarms are available . These can be put on the bed and will sound alarm if urine is detected.
5. Desmopressin is available as nasal spray to control but it should be the last resort .
