Bed wetting goes by different names such as night-time incontinence, nocturnal incontinence, nocturnal enuresis or sleep wetting. In truth parents and doctors have very different outlooks on bed wetting. Should you ask parents what age they reckon a child should stop bed wetting, the answer will be around 2,75 years of age. Doctors reckon it should be around 5,13 years of age. Obviously parents tend to become worried about bed wetting much sooner than is necessary. And with good reason – a child’s self-esteem and social development can suffer because of it. One would expect a child who is dry during the day to be dry at night too. The whole process of waking up and changing linen is hardly a enjoyable one and can leave parents frustrated and angry…and a child embarrassed, humiliated and very much aware of his parents feelings.
Bed wetting can have a tremendous influence on a child once sleep-overs become the in-thing. How do you explain to your peers that you still wet your bed at night? Though it may be extremely embarrassing it is also the most common urological childhood complaint and more common than one may think. In most cases bed wetting is a normal delay in development and very seldom due to emotional or physical illness.
There are 2 types of bed wetting.
- Primary Nocturnal Enuresis(PNE) When a child is old enough to be dry during the day but still wets his bed at least 2 night per week. There hasn’t been a time when he has been dry.
- Secondary Nocturnal Enuresis (SNE). A child starts wetting his bed after being dry for a period of at least 6 months. This is normally due to physical illness such as Urinary Tract Infection or Diabetes. Another cause of SNE could be stress such as loss of a loved one, extreme bullying, divorce etc.
So when can one expect your child to stop bed wetting? Most agree that girls are normally dry by the age of 6 and boys by the age of 7. When one looks at the physical functions involved in staying dry it becomes clear why the whole process can take so long.
