Bed-Wetting
Symptoms
Reference Bed-wetting Opens New Window is not a disease, so it has no symptoms. For a child who has never had nighttime bladder control for more than 3 months, overcoming this problem is usually a matter of normal development.
If a child has other symptoms, such as crying or complaining of pain when urinating, sudden strong urges to urinate, or increased thirst, bed-wetting may be a symptom of some Reference other medical condition. Call the doctor if your child has any of these symptoms.
