What Causes Bed Wetting Post Hernia Surgery In A Child?

my son is almost 10 and still wears a pull-up to bed. he wets the pull up almost every night. He had a hernia surgery when he was around 3 (I think) and I m wondering if the hernia surgery could be causing his bed wetting. Regardless, should I be worried?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello

The bed wetting would have nothing to do with his hernia surgery and bed wetting is fairly common for a child his age.

Nothing to worry about here since he'll eventually grow out of this but let his pediatrician know about this since there is a medication that can help with the problem for now
