what is the problem when a 9 year old boy continues to urinate in the bed at night.?
Question:
Answers:
I knew a girl with the same problem, best thing to try and solve that is make sure no liquids about an hour before bedtime, and sometime during the night go into his room wake him up and take him to the bathroo, it work for my niece, she was a very deep sleeper, over a period of time of them getting used to waking up they will start on their own
Other Answers:
it is normal but not normal, you should take him to a dr they will have some really good sugestions on how to re-train him and might put him on some medication to help dont wory about it
Some kids don't develop the muscle control to hold it until they're a little older, it's totally normal. They sell disposable underpants the kids can wear to bed. He is probably a heavy sleeper. There is an alarm that wakes you up with noise and/or shaking. We did both and and it took nearly a year. It says Maylem on it I think. It is for age 6 & up, so your son is the right age.
buy diapers[meant for night use {not on babies}
tell him no more water at least hour before bed time
eventually he'll stop
boys and girls will either have betwetting problems or not. If he still has them, it is ok. If you are really worried about him, take him to a doctor or a psychiatrist. Sorry that all I know.
Dont worry about him. Hes okay.
some medical problems can cause this.
For instance, a little nerve damage to the bladder can cause a higher internal pressure in the bladder. Sometimes people go in for an xray and find they have a defect on their spine or something they never knew was there, and it turns out to be a nerve damage problem.
Sometimes the bladder is just way too small to be adequate for the persons size. I've heard sometimes the bladder will grow to catch up to the rest of the kids body later, but sometimes not.
Sometimes there is something else going wrong. I know one girl who had a "reflux" that was causing her urine to flow backwards to her kidneys, and her kidneys would get engorged (hydronephrosis) and then sometimes it would flow back and increase the pressure in her bladder.
There are things that can be going wrong. Some of these things can be treated. For instance sometimes there are pills that relax the muscles in the bladder and decrease the internal pressure. (you know those commercials that sing "gotta go right now". ) :D
There are different medications that can really help, prescribed to children under certain medical circumstances.
Sometimes something else needs done, and a urologist can advise you. (sometimes a surgery is needed)
Of course it could be just a matter of maturity, training, etc.
but it is only responsible to rule out a medical problem first. I wet the bed til I was 10 years old. I must have been a heavy sleeper because I remember always dreaming that I was actually sitting on the toilet when I peed the bed, almost every night. It is extremely humiliating, especially to a sensitive child. What finally worked for me was a combination of several things. An alarm device that sounded when it got wet. No drinking after dinner. A determination to ask myself when I was dreaming about being on the toilet to question whether it was a dream or real. Oddly enough I still ask myself that in my dreams as an adult. I guess I made it into a habit.
Good luck, be patient, and be aware that he is probably VERY embarassed by it. It is fairly normal for an older child to wet the bed. There are a variety of causes, including genetics, hormones, heavy sleeping, and underdeveloped bladder. If you're concerned, visit your child's doctor and ask him/her to determine the cause.
