What is wrong with an 11-year-old wetting the bed?

Newborn babies will wet the bed every day, which is generally normal. However, as the child grows older, the symptoms of bedwetting usually do not appear. Parents should pay attention to the bedwetting of an eleven-year-old baby. An eleven-year-old baby can already urinate independently and has the ability to take care of himself. Bedwetting is abnormal, and it is best to take the child to the hospital in time to find out the cause.

What is it like for an 11 year old to wet the bed?

Many children who wet the bed sleep very deeply at night and are difficult to wake up, and they don’t even know they have wet the bed. When there is urine in the bladder, the urge to urinate cannot be conveyed to the brain in time during sleep, and the brain cannot issue a command to wake up in time. Children's bedwetting may also be a symptom caused by bladder neuritis or stress bladder incontinence. At this time, parents should take their children for examination in time. In addition, the causes of bedwetting in 11-year-old children include genetic factors, mental factors and environmental factors.

What to do if your 11 year old wets the bed

If a child is over 5 years old and wets the bed once a month or more, it is considered nocturnal enuresis. Parents should first adopt wake-up therapy and set an alarm. The main purpose of this is to build children's confidence and train the bladder's autonomous urination function. Building confidence is important for children with enuresis. In addition, you can use medication as an auxiliary and give it to your child orally before bedtime. If awakening and medication are ineffective, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination.

It is not a big deal if a child wets the bed. Every child wets the bed, but if a child is over 5 years old, it is considered a disease. Many people want to know what causes bedwetting at the age of 11. This is most likely caused by the child sleeping too deeply, but other reasons cannot be ruled out, such as illness, mental and genetic factors.

How to treat an 11-year-old daughter who wets the bed

Dry sleeping method: Keep your child’s bedding dry. Scientific research has shown that if a baby is allowed to sleep in a wet bed all night, it can easily reinforce bedwetting. A wet bed makes your baby more likely to urinate.

Mental encouragement method: If a child often wets the bed, he should not be criticized harshly. Criticism will often make the child more worried and fearful, which will often have a worse effect. Instead, you should encourage your child more and give him/her praise and encouragement once he/she stops wetting the bed.

Excitement control method: Excessive brain excitement can easily lead to bedwetting at night. Let your child go to bed on time and develop good sleeping and resting habits. Do not tease your child too much before going to bed, do not do strenuous activities or play games that excite the brain.

Conditioned reflex training method: In the past, adults can wake up the child when he wets the bed at night, and let the child wake up and wash his face with cold water, so that he can urinate while he is conscious. This will help establish the child's conditioned reflex of urination.
