Bed-wetting

The condition is manifested by involuntary urination during sleep. The reasons are varied. This is primarily a serious condition against the background of a common disease, accompanied by high fever, malformations of the urinary tract and stones of the bladder, pyelonephritis. Bedwetting can be one of the manifestations of an epileptic fit, in which case the neurological basis of the disease may indicate fatigue and irritability in the morning, usually not typical of this child. The cause of this condition may be dementia, in which the child is not able to master the skills of voluntary urination; Paralysis of the sphincter of the bladder in diseases of the spinal cord (the so-called neurogenic bladder, quite common in childhood); Diabetes sugar and non-sugar; Hereditary factors, when a given symptom is observed in several children in a given family or in several generations; Various stressful situations, a strong one-time or permanent, weaker impact (excessive demands on the only child or oppression of his older children in the family, tensions between parents).
In any case, one should not consider bedwetting as a kind of disobedience, bad behavior of the child. When developing appropriate skills, he should be able to arbitrarily hold urine and ask for a potty; otherwise, he should consult a doctor who will prescribe an examination and further treatment with appropriate specialists (nephrologist, urologist, neurologist, psychiatrist, endocrinologist or other doctors).
The prognosis depends on the nature of the disease, the time of treatment and the correct performance of the appointments.
