Day & Night-time Wetting
Research shows that between 5-7 million U.S. children suffer from bedwetting daily.
By age five most children achieve bladder control. Bed wetting is common, more so in boys than girls. Without treatment, only 15% percent of children will become dry at night.
Personal / Social Impacts
There can be serious psychological consequences if this goes untreated with older children. Embarrassment and self-awareness can hinder the child’s social activities such as sports and get-togethers. This can lead to teasing and humiliation from others which can cause loss of confidence and self-esteem.
Getting Started
A diagnosis from your doctor is the first step to wellness. Next, treatment may include physical therapy, behavioral treatment and medication.
