Today we are talking about the nature of this problem and ways to solve it
Bed-wetting - also called nocturnal enuresis - is when children pass out involuntarily during the day or during sleep, after learning to use the toilet
It is common in many homes where approximately 20% of children at the age of five have a problem with bedwetting, and 10% of children by the age of seven,
which is often just a normal part of a child's development.
In general, bed-wetting before the age of 7 is not a cause for concern.
And if bed-wetting continues, deal with the problem with patience and understanding.
Lifestyle changes, bladder training, and sometimes medications may help reduce bed wetting.
You should consult a doctor in these cases :
Your child is bed wetting after the age of 7
Your baby has started to bed-wetting after several months of being dehydrated at night Bed-wetting accompanied by painful urination, unusual thirst, red urine, or dry stools
Diagnosing nocturia requires a complete and comprehensive physical examination
and knowledge of the patient's health history that can indicate the source of the problem.
The problem of wetting during the day is more common in females,
while bedwetting is more common in male children.
There may be many causes of involuntary urination:
It is possible that your child's bladder has not grown enough to hold the urine produced during the night.
Excessive urine production
Urine retention voluntarily by the child.
The nerve that controls the bladder may not yet mature, leading to an inability to perceive a full bladder.
Some babies don't produce anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) to slow urine production at night.
Urinary tract infection.
Bed-wetting may be the first sign of diabetes, for a child who does not usually wet the bed and is associated with increased thirst, fatigue, and weight loss.
When constipation persists for a long time, these muscles may malfunction and contribute to bed-wetting at night.
Suffering from a congenital anomaly, such as a urethral obstruction.
Most babies get rid of bed-wetting on their own.
If treatment is needed, you can rely on discussing options with your doctor and determining the best option for your condition.
Lifestyle changes, such as completely avoiding caffeine and soft drinks and restricting nighttime fluid intake
Use creams and moisturizers so that the child does not have a rash.
Encouraging the child to go to the toilet more than once before bed to empty the bladder.
Pay attention to the child entering the toilet every two hours so that he does not wait for the feeling of urgency to relieve himself.
