What Causes Bed Wetting?

My 8 year old son still wets his pants very frequently. Everyday a couple times a day. He does in on the couch , on the bed, in the car , on the ground, etc. He's says he was doing something like playing or busy, and sometimes he just doesnt know why. Do you have any suggestions?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
There are lots causes:
1.Neurosis, stress,anxiety,fears
2.Weakness of wall of urine bladder-hypotony , low tonus of anterior abdoninal wall
3.Drinking lots of water for night
4.Feeling cold during night
I advice to your son give natural sedative- adhvagandha 1 capsule 1 time 1 month , dry diet, don' t give fluid after 6p.m.For dinner you can give noodles,fry egg, porridge without milk,fry or boiled potato,bread.Try to keep his bladder empty after 6p.m.
Remind him to go to toilet after 20min after meal. Do massage of abdomen and underwear zone. You can do physiotherapy-amplipuls therapy to this zone. Do excersises for abdominal press
Best regards
