Urinary Incontinence in Children
Key Points
Understanding why the child is incontinent is essential to the child's outcome and well-being. Most often, incontinence is not caused by a medical disorder. Treatment includes behavioral changes, dietary changes to manage constipation, and sometimes medications. Alarms are the most effective treatment for bed-wetting. Most nighttime enuresis (bed-wetting) improves as the child matures.
