Bedwetting is referred to within the medical community as nocturnal enuresis. This problem occurs relatively often in infants, and as age and development increase, less and less children face the issue. When the problem persists for years on end, it can be a source of shame and embarrassment by the sufferer, who may feel incompetent due to the problem and may face self-esteem issues.

What the doctor asks a bed wetter

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Wednesday 26 March 2008 at 4:38 pm

A doctor will need to ask specific questions of the parent of the bed wetter regarding family history and the child’s past medical history. The doctor will ask- Did you experience any medical complications when the child was born? He or she will also want to know if your child has ever had a problem with his central nervous system. Did either of the child’s parents ever wet the bed as youngsters and/or was there anyone else in the family that did? A doctor will also inquire as to whether a child has ever undergone any type of surgery and whether he or she has ever sustained any injury to the abdominal area, which could encompass the kidneys, bladder and genital area.
