How Can Bed-wetting Be Treated In A Child?

My son (9) has had trouble with nighttime dryness. We have tried to limit liquids, waking him up in the middle of the night to void, and now have an alarm he wears but nothing works. I am getting worried that he will not outgrow this issue as his pediatrician says. I am wondering if I should seek a UA to see if there is an infection and blood work to see if there is an underlying issue. Thanks

Hello,

Besetting is usually resolved by the age of nine years. In some cases, it remains present until twelve years of age. First, we have to look for any illness if present. I advise for ultrasound KUB, renal functions, urine routine, culture, calcium, blood sugar level. If all is normal, then try to manage conservatively.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
