what the causes of bedwetting in a 6 year old male kid?
KrystalE answers:
Bedwetting is typically caused by physical reasons such as having a bladder that hasn't matured as fast as the rest of the body. Other physical causes can include poor bladder control, urinary infections, increased fluid intake, diabetes, or a more serious medical condition. Bedwetting can also be triggered by stress or a psychological trauma. It can also be due to heredity. If one or more parents wet the bed as a child, their kids will likely become bedwetters themselves. Getting checked out by a physician is the best thing to do as it can give a better idea as to the exact cause for bedwetting. This will also help to figure out if it is due to a serious medical condition. By finding the cause, there may be a possible treatment option or it may be that the bedwetting will go away with time.
