How to Treat Bedwetting
Bed wetting can be stopped through behavioral methods of treatment or using medical methods of treatment.
Behavioral methods can range from bedtime routines, reward systems, limiting of fluids to enuresis alarms.
Medication can also be prescribed for bedwetting. This is usually used as a last resort, as most children do
outgrow bedwetting. Although medications do help, after use of them is stopped, the bedwetting may resume. Behavior
methods therefore, while they can take longer, tend to have their effects remain.
There are many behavioral treatments which you can try to help your child control bed wetting. While medication may
show faster results, behavior methods are more effective and have no side effects. Be patient, as behavior methods
do take longer than medication.
Night Waking – Use your alarm, and wake your child in the night
Alarms – Moisture and PC alarms can help
Retention Control – This method works by strengthening the muscles that prevent urination in your child’s
bladder. Check with your doctor before trying this: Ask your child to control urination during the day, first by 30
seconds and then by gradually increasing. This is probably best done over the toilet.
Hypnosis – Hypnosis can be a very effective form of helping your child to overcome bedwetting. By repeated
hearings of a hypnosis or subliminal message tape, your child’s brain is retrained so that your child responds to
the message from the bladder that it is full in the same way the child responds when they are awake.
