The first reaction of most parents to bedwetting is that it is something that happens to every child according to the experience around them. So how much do you really know about the real causes of bedwetting in children? And what are the conditions that require you to take your child to the doctor? Bedwetting is enuresis. It is a condition in which a child over the age of 3 years old is unable to control urination after going to sleep and thus wets the bed unconsciously. Habitual enuresis can make the child weak, affect physical health and intellectual development, and frequent bedwetting can also bring troubles to the family. So, what are the causes of bedwetting in children? 1, genetic factors: one of the parents has a history of enuresis, the chances of hereditary enuresis in children is 44%; if both parents have a history of enuresis, the chances of heredity is 75%. This situation mostly occurs in boys. 2.Disease and physiological factors: urinary tract infection, kidney disease, local inflammation of the urethra, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, sacral nerve dysfunction, epilepsy, underdeveloped brain, small bladder volume, etc., may cause enuresis, but the proportion of enuresis caused by disease is small. 3, mental factors: including children playing during the day too fatigue, excessive excitement; strong mental stimulation, such as frightened; mood anxiety, nervousness, occasional bedwetting after a parent reprimanded or even corporal punishment. 4, inappropriate training of urination habits: children are not given timely urination training, such as mothers who use diapers for children for too long, so that they cannot let the affected children develop the habit of controlling urination by themselves, or do not have the habit of calling the affected children to pee in the middle of the night. Some careless mothers wake up their children at night and let them sit on the potty and urinate while dozing, so that they cannot easily link urination with sitting on the potty to form a reflex. 5. The child sleeps too deeply: Generally speaking, children with bedwetting sleep very deeply at night and are not easily woken up, even without knowing that they have wet the bed. When there is urine in the bladder, the intention to urinate in sleep cannot be conveyed to the brain in time, and the brain cannot issue the command to wake up in time, so some children often dream of finding the toilet before they wet the bed at night. 6, environmental factors: including a sudden change to a new environment, climate change, such as cold, etc.. In addition, children who drink too much water before going to sleep can cause bedwetting. Knowing the causes, which are the cases where the child needs to see a doctor? First, if your child suddenly starts wetting the bed again after more than 6 months of not wetting the bed, it’s time to see a doctor. Although the sudden onset of bedwetting may be due to life changes, it is best to have the doctor check for any underlying medical conditions. The next two conditions that also require a visit to the doctor are:?bedwetting during the day and night after the age of 6; and when bedwetting has interfered with your baby’s normal life, such as when they don’t want to spend the night outside (at someone else’s house). The dangers of bedwetting are more than just saying that they wet the sheets. Children who wet the bed for a long time tend to grow taller, have lower IQs, have more mental illnesses, and bedwetting children will have many more problems as adults than normal children.
