🤔 What is Bedwetting?
It is the inability of a child to control urine during sleep or wakefulness after the age of 5 years.
There are two types:
Primary 🔹 The child has never achieved full bladder control.
Secondary 🔹 The child was able to control urination but then lost this ability again.
🔍 Causes of Bedwetting in Children
The causes may vary from one child to another. Some of the most common causes include:
🧬 Genetic Factors:
A family history of bedwetting increases the likelihood of the condition.
🧠 Slight Delay in Nervous System Development:
Some children need more time for bladder control mechanisms to fully develop.
😔 Psychological Stress or Life Changes:
Such as starting a new school, the arrival of a newborn sibling, fear, or emotional pressure.
💉 Medical or Physical Causes:
Such as urinary tract infections or weak bladder muscles (which require medical assessment).
😴 Deep Sleep:
The child doesn’t wake up even when the bladder is full.
🚰 Drinking fluids before bedtime and not going to the bathroom before sleep.
