  • Can I do anything to stop my child from wetting the bed?

    The first workup for Diurnal eneuresis should include a Urinanlysis to rule out any medical or organic issue causing it. DE may be related to behavioral issues or situational. Please assess what is happening prior to the accident and the consequence afterwards. This may help understand the behavior of allowing these accidents to happen. He may not be aware that this is a voluntary action. Counseling may help him identify what the underlying issue is. DE is inherited in 10% of the cases and family members may relate to his situation if it happened to them. Hope this helps. All the best, Wilhelmina READ MORE
