Dr Andrew Ferreirinha, a paediatrician at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediclinic.co.za\/en\/kloof\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-target=\"_blank\">Mediclinic Kloof<\/a> gives some advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Understanding bed-wetting<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First off, bed-wetting is not something children do on purpose &#8211; it is unintentional and usually happens because:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">their brain and bladder are still learning to communicate during sleep;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">they are deep sleepers who don\u2019t wake up when their bladder is full.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The condition is medically divided in two main categories:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Monosymptomatic enuresis, which refers to nighttime bed-wetting only\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Non-monosymptomatic enuresis, which includes both night and daytime symptoms. Daytime wetting is less common and more likely to be linked to underlying medical issues, which should be investigated by a doctor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It can also be classified as primary (the child has never had a prolonged dry period) or secondary (bed-wetting returns after at least six months of dryness).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why does it happen?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many possible reasons for bed-wetting, including delayed bladder maturity, sleep disturbances, and hormonal imbalances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other contributing factors include stress, constipation, urinary tract infections (UTIs), anatomical abnormalities, and \u2013 more rarely \u2013 neurological conditions that interfere with the signalling between the brain and bladder. You, as the parent, also have a part to play from a genetic point of view, as your child has a 50% chance of bed-wetting if one of the parents did the same when they were growing up, and an almost 75% chance if both parents had the condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The psychological toll<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As bed-wetting is poorly understood and socially taboo, it often has psychological consequences that go beyond the physical. Children may feel embarrassed or ashamed, leading to low self-esteem, anxiety and even social withdrawal \u2013 particularly if they avoid sleepovers or camps out of fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Is there a cure?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most children eventually outgrow bed-wetting, but there are several management options to help the process along \u2013 starting with a visit to a healthcare professional to rule out underlying health issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additional non-pharmacological methods can also include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scheduled toilet breaks during the day and before bed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Avoiding caffeine, fizzy drinks and colourants.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating a comfortable and child-appropriate toilet environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encouraging children to use school toilets when needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Avoiding lifting or waking the child at night.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not removing nappies until dry nights are consistent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some cases, however, may also benefit from the use of medication. The most common is desmopressin (DDAVP), a synthetic version of the antidiuretic hormone that reduces urine production overnight. For children with an overactive bladder, anticholinergic medications may also be considered, although these are not used as first-line treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite how common it is, bed-wetting remains largely misunderstood and for many families, it\u2019s a quiet source of stress, shame and frustration.
