Day wetting

My 9 year old boy is still having times where he is wetting, although infrequently. He says he doesn't feel it happening.

I am going to try again with the drinking enough, and regular trips to the toilet (he's never been great at drinking lots), as we haven't really been pushing the fluids. We do already try to encourage him to go to the loo regularly, but obviously we have no control when he's in school.

Is it time for a trip to the GP? Anyone had experience of the same?

Thanks.

Hi Mythical

Do you think he is constipated ?sometimes even when kids appear to be pooing fairly regularly, their bowel can have impacted poo still there and that will restrict bladder space and may affect sensation. Definately time to see a GP.

Thank you for your reply. I really don't think constipation is an issue. He does have regular BM's, and has no symptoms.

Not what you're looking for?
