What causes bedwetting in children?

My 6 year old son is wetting the bed. I want to know what causes bedwetting in children?

1 Answer

In most cases, children wet the bed because the brain signals that tell the body the bladder is full haven't fully matured, Other factors include smaller-than-average bladder capacity, higher urine production overnight or a higher level of bladder muscle activity. Genetics are also a factor. You should discuss this with your pediatrician who can look for associated medical problems
