BED-WETTING WOES

Sep 9 2007 Dr Gareth Smith

Q MY son has just started high school and says he likes it but he has also started to wet the bed. He is very embarrassed and I am worried.

A IT may be he is more anxious about school than he is letting on. Speak to him about it and ask if he is having problems. Also make sure he avoids caffeine in the evenings and get him to empty his bladder before he goes to sleep. If that doesn't help over a few weeks take him to your GP.
