Eneuresis/Bedwetting
Why does bedwetting happen? Is it anyone’s fault?

Text

It is important to remember that it is not the child’s fault. Parents must also not blame themselves. Getting angry or punishing the child could make the problem worse. Supporting and praising the efforts of the child to stay dry will help the child to become dry sooner. Getting medical help relieves the anguish for the family.

The cause of bedwetting is usually a combination of three factors.

1.Over production of urine at night

2.Hyperactivity of the bladder

3.Lack of arousal from sleep

Stressful early life events can trigger bedwetting in those who have previously been dry for a long period.
