Causes of enuresis in children

The symptom of enuresis in children is mainly caused by the delayed development of the nervous regulation system, and it may also be caused by the delayed development of bladder function. Because the child's body functions have not yet fully developed, it is normal to have symptoms of enuresis, so it is recommended that mothers should let their children learn to control urination. Now let us understand the causes of enuresis in children.

Common causes of enuresis in children

1. Delayed development of the neuroregulatory system

Because children's brain function develops relatively slowly, the control of the primary urination center of the spinal cord is weak, resulting in loss of control of the bladder and urethra and causing enuresis.

2. Bladder function retardation

The bladder is where the body stores urine. If bladder function is underdeveloped, enuresis may occur due to loss of voluntary control over urination.

3. Urinary tract dysfunction or irritation

Enuresis can also be caused by irritation of the urethral opening in children or incomplete urethral closure.

4. Sleep dysfunction

Many children urinate during sleep and are not easily awakened. This may be because the child is not sensitive to urination, or is too tired and sleeps too deeply, causing enuresis.

5. Psychosomatic illness

Urogenital organs: congenital urethral malformation, prepuce is too long, vulvitis, urinary tract infection, calculi, renal damage, etc.

Systemic diseases: spina bifida, epilepsy, diabetes, diabetes insipidus, etc.

· Nervous system diseases: epilepsy, encephalopathy, brain tumor, cerebrovascular disease, multiple meningeal sclerosis, spinal cord inflammation, hemorrhage, meningocele, lumbar sacral occult fracture, etc.

6. Psychological stimulation

The death of a loved one, parental quarrels, mother-child separation, fear of darkness, and sudden changes in living environment may all cause enuresis in children because stressful emotions such as fear, rage, and sadness can stimulate children.

7. Genetics

If parents have enuresis, their children may be genetically affected and suffer from enuresis.

8. Unscientific urination training

Many parents fail to provide scientific urination training for their children, such as holding their children to urinate excessively when their bladders are not full or using diapers for a long time. Forcing children to urinate at night or making them fear urination are not conducive to developing urination habits.
