- Functional immaturity of the mechanisms of regulation of urination. In adults, when the bladder becomes full, its muscle shell stretches and the nerve endings inserted in it send signals to the brain, which gives the command to urinate. In children, the relationship between the bladder and the brain is not completely formed. The brain can not give a command to urinate, therefore the bladder spontaneously performs its function.
- Infections of the urinary system.
- Epilepsy.
- Tumors.
- Spinal trauma.
What to do
- If a child is over 3 years of bedwetting, you need to see a doctor to rule out the diseases that are a symptom of incontinence.
- Give in urine test and do ultrasound to rule out urinary tract infections.
- Monitor the amount of water consumed by the baby. To do this, it is necessary for the child to allocate urine not to the toilet, but to some container with a known volume. If it turns out that a lot is drunk, and little is allocated, then the problem is most likely related to kidney disease.
