Note Dr. Cristian Sager, doctor urologist child, explains why the night wetting before age 5 should not be a concern
Nocturnal enuresis, also known as urinary incontinence night, is the involuntary urination during sleep in children than it should have control over their bladder. According to Dr. Cristian Sager, urologist child of the Argentine Center of Urology, before the age of five should not be a cause for concern, since the control night of the bladder is still developing. However, between 5 and 7 years old, some children may continue to wet the bed, and after 7 years, a small group continues with this problem.
The bedwetting monosymptomatic, which presents no daytime symptoms, is more common in males and can often be corrected single, although some cases may require medical intervention. Factors such as a small bladder, deep sleep, or an insufficient secretion of antidiuretic hormone may contribute to this condition. Chronic constipation is also associated with bed-wetting, as the bowel and bladder shared nerve pathways and closeness in the pelvis. Other causes include sleep apnea, urinary tract infections and, in some cases, conditions such as diabetes or psychological problems such as anxiety, ADHD, or emotional trauma.
The impact of social and emotional enuresis can be significant, generating a shame, social isolation and difficulties to participate in activities such as camps or pijamadas. However, it is important to dispel common myths, such as the idea that it is a behavior problem or that you have a single treatment. The management of enuresis may include the tracking of habits voiding and defecation, adequate hydration, reduction of liquids night and a balanced diet. In addition, it is recommended to establish routines of urination and bowel movements regular to help improve bladder control.
