No one knows for sure what causes nighttime wetting, also called nocturnal enuresis, but bedwetting is usually a natural part of development, and most children grow out of it. However, enuresis — not being able to control peeing in the daytime or nighttime — can be a sign of another medical condition, especially if it begins abruptly or is accompanied by other symptoms. Then it may be time for your child to be seen by Nemours pediatric urologists who specialize in treating urologic problems in children.

The Bladder Clinic
The clinic is led by our experienced and compassionate nurse practitioner who works in conjunction with our pediatric urologists to take care of your child’s bladder problems.
Our comprehensive program is specifically designed for the evaluation and management of urinary incontinence in kids, including voiding dysfunctions such as daytime wetting, urinary urgency and frequency, or nighttime bedwetting in
older children.
We understand that bladder problems can be embarrassing for children. We also know that developmental, emotional, and behavioral issues can complicate dysfunctional elimination. We work to get to the heart of, and treat, all the medical and/or behavioral issues impacting a child’s inability to void normally.
