What Causes Daytime Wetting Of Clothes In A Child?
My grandson is having problems with wetting his pants. He has been to a pediactric urologist and they call it bladder spasms. He has been on 5 different types of medicines to help this. He is 8 yrs. old and weighs 60 pounds. He had infantile spasms when he was 5 months old, but is currently leading a normal life. He has been on Leucovorin and B6 since he was diagnosed. Could he be having a seizure or something that would be causing this?.

Hello,
As your urologist said your child is having bladder spasm which is leading to frequent wetting, probably he is suffering from condition called overactive bladder. Children with overactive bladders have a need to urinate more often than usual because their bladder muscles have uncontrollable spasms which results in involuntary release of urine and wetting. Infantile spasms usually occur up to the age of 2 years and their presentation is different. You should continue the medications prescribed by your urologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
