Pediatric Bladder Dysfunction

Pediatric bladder dysfunction refers to problems with how children control their bladder. This can include issues like frequent urination, difficulty holding urine, or bedwetting. Such dysfunction can stem from various causes, including physical abnormalities, neurological issues, or behavioral factors. It may lead to discomfort, social embarrassment, and impact a child’s daily life and self-esteem. Diagnosis typically involves a healthcare professional assessing the child's medical history, symptoms, and possibly conducting tests. Treatment options vary and may include behavioral therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes to help improve bladder function and control.
