It becomes an issue when the child starts feelin...more

Hello,
Bedwetting problem can be due to some underlying stress. If even after restricting fluids before bed its not resolving than you can opt for alarm therapy; in which he will wake up as soon as he starts voiding urine. It has a high success rate. The last option will be to put him on medication or spray at night time. Appreciate when he do not wet bed. You can consult psychiatrist or pediatrician or you can contact me for any help required.

Nocturia is defined as “excessive urination at night”. Normally, the amount of urine the body produces goes down at night, reducing the need to urinate for the 6 to 8 hours that people are sleeping.

Causes of Nocturia:
1.Advancing age
2.Drinking too much fluid during the evening
