What Causes Frequent Urination And Bed Wetting In A Child?
I know of a 14 year old girl who is frequebtly urinating in school and bed wetting. It is causing social problems for her. She has been evaluated by a urologist, but no cause was found. I suspect abuse or neglect by the parents. Is this a likely explanation?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I have few questions for you -
1. Has this kid stopped bed wetting at certain age and again started having it
2. If so at what age she stopped and when did it start
If she had never stopped bed wetting form birth...you can try some behavioural changes which I can elaborate after proper history and interaction with you , but the effect will not be immediate, but it will be permanent.
If its a recurrence after attaining night time control, I suggest you see your paediatrician to rule out pathological causes like urinary infections or Voiding dysfunction.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
