Incontinence in children is temporary in nature and most of them become continent without any medical intervention, whatsoever. Long-term incontinence among young children may be a cause of worry since it might be due to kidney and bladder infections or disturbances. At an age of 4-6 years, it is considered normal and the parents should avoid being bothered. Unpredictable bladder control is more prevalent in some of the adults also.

College-age women also suffer from this problem due to stressful lifestyles. The condition turns for the worse if it is not taken care of during the adolescent years. Experts have suggested that kids who face learning disabilities are more prone to incontinence and wetting problems at any time of the day. A calmer child, free from stressful conditions will be able to exercise better bladder control.

Select a Behavioral Program after Considering All the Pros and Cons of the Program

The proponents of the so-called behavioral programs sometimes do not reveal the real side effects that they cause. There can be serious outcomes of these programs in the end such as, permanent loss of sight or other physical disorders. The issues that need to be addressed from the childs view are - stressful life, emotional trauma, extremely rigid or lax training, small or overactive bladder or bladder infections. Kids who wet the bed in the night are also prone to wetting their clothes during daytime.

Different Kinds of Enuresis or Incontinences in Children

Nocturnal enuresis is the most common and prevalent type wherein a child of either sex above the age of 5 years wets the bed. The second type is a primary enuresis wherein a child suffers from bed-wetting for more than six months. A related category of primary enuresis is the secondary enuresis where the child has stopped bed-wetting for almost six months or more but continues it again. The worst of these all is the diurnal enuresis where the child wets during the day, may be more than once. Some kids may have the symptoms of both diurnal and nocturnal enuresis and be prone to wetting clothes during any part of the day.

It is said that no two fingers are alike and the same holds true for different immune systems in different children. Some start walking at a very early age and others may take a lot of time. If one of the parents used to have the habit of wetting their beds during childhood, 40% chances are that the child will also have the same habit. The condition becomes worse if both the parents had a history of bed-wetting in their childhood, as chances of their offspring developing bed-wetting increase by 80%.

Physical and structural defects have their contributions in leading to the symptom of bed-wetting, but these are not as strong as genetic factors. Make sure that the child is living a stress-free life and is not going through any emotional turmoil, whatsoever. Be calm and friendly with the child and avoid scolding him or her because of the condition. Remember, they do not do it purposely!
