Urinary incontinence is a loss of urine control. It is usually caused by an underlying condition such as a urinary tract disorder or a problem with the nerves that control the bladder. In case of children this problem is well known as “Bed wetting”.  

Bet wetting  isn't caused by drinking too much before bedtime or because the child is too lazy to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. 

Some of the causes of involuntary urination include the following:

  • Difficulties waking up from sleep 

  • Slower than normal development of the central nervous system--this reduces the child's ability to stop the bladder from emptying at night 

  • Hormonal factors (not enough antidiuretic hormone--this hormone reduces the amount of urine made by the kidneys) 

  • Urinary tract infections 

  • Abnormalities in the urethral valves in boys or in the ureter in girls or boys.

  • Imbalance of the bladder muscles. For example, the muscle that contracts to squeeze the urine out is stronger, at moments, than the sphincter muscle that holds the urine in. 

  • Bladders that are a little too small to hold the normal amount of urine. 

  • Making more urine than their normal-size bladders can hold.

 

Children who can control their bladders during the day, but who have never been dry at night for at least a six month period, have what is known medically as primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE), the most common form of bed wetting.

Many parents feel that their children's bed wetting is a result of a defect in their parenting. Some friends and relatives, who bring up questions of emotional instability as the cause of bed-wetting, heighten this feeling.

PNE is a common developmental phenomenon related to physical and physiologic factors. It does not come from emotional stress, poor self-esteem, or emotional instability.

Children with involuntary urination problem have one thing in common; they don't wake up when they need to urinate. When an adult's bladder is full at night, there is a signal that goes from the bladder, through the nervous system, up to the brain. This initiates a dream about water, or more specifically, about going to the bathroom. The dream alerts our reticular activating system, which awakens us. We can then get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, and use the toilet. This signaling mechanism comes into play sometime in middle childhood.
