Urinary Incontinence in Children – Meet Dr. Prabhu Karunakaran, Pediatric Urologist in Hyderabad
Urinary incontinence in children isn’t just about occasional accidents—it can impact their confidence, daily activities, and overall well-being. If your child struggles with involuntary urine leakage, frequent accidents, or bedwetting beyond the expected age, it’s important to understand the causes and available treatments.
Why Does Urinary Incontinence Happen?
Several factors can lead to urinary incontinence in children:
Bladder development delay – Some children take longer to develop full bladder control.
Overactive bladder – The bladder contracts too often, causing urgency and accidents.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) – UTIs can irritate the bladder, leading to leakage.
Constipation – A full bowel can put pressure on the bladder and cause accidents.
Neurological conditions – Issues affecting nerve signals to the bladder.
Psychological stress – Emotional distress can trigger incontinence episodes.
When Should You Be Concerned?
If your child:
Frequently wets their clothes during the day.
Struggles with bedwetting beyond the expected age.
Complains of pain or discomfort while urinating.
Experiences sudden, uncontrollable urges to urinate.
Has a history of frequent urinary infections.
It’s time to seek expert medical advice.
