Suggest Remedy For Bedwetting By A 10 Year Old Girl

My daughter Anwesha is 10 yrs old. I am facing a problem of bed wetting with her. When she is sleeping she doesn t come to know about that she has done urine on the bed. This happens when ever she goes to sleep be it afternoon or night and almost every day. I am very much worried about her this condition. Please help me otherwise I will go mad because I am not able to have peace sleep plus very embracing in front of every body

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Does she have any other symptoms like frequency or urgency? Any history of inability to hold bladder when awake(urge incontinence)?

No such issues and physical examination is normal, I would have given a bladder stabilising agent like desmopressin for 3 months.

If getting good response, which is the usual case, we can taper and stop. Before this we need a physical examination for any uro-genital or neurologic issues, and a urine routine examination.

Kindly discuss with your pediatrician.

Meanwhile restrict fluid intake after 5pm, avoid caffeinated drinks(tea, coffee) and sugaries after 4 pm, Insist to void before going to bed, try setting regular alarm once midnight to void, Keep a voiding diary and complement for dry nights at end of each month. These measures may look funny but often helps much.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
