Pediatric Bladder Dysfunctions

Pediatric bladder dysfunctions refer to problems that affect how children control their bladder. These issues can include bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), daytime accidents, or urgency (a strong need to pee suddenly). Factors contributing to these conditions may include developmental delays, stress, constipation, or underlying medical issues. Often, these dysfunctions resolve with time, but some children may need support through behavioral strategies, bladder training, or medical intervention to manage their symptoms effectively. It's important for parents to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider to ensure appropriate evaluation and guidance.
