My 6 year old is having problems with urinary Incontinence. What could be the problem?
He has been having involuntary accidents. Before I take him to the doctor I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions to try or ideas of what could be going on with him.
The first question I have is: Is this a new problem or has it been ongoing for some time?
The person to whom you should address the answer is of course his pediatrician. If the problem is new, also make a list of changes in your son’s life in the months just before.
Any new friends? Any old friends move away? Any new school or grade change?
Keep a potty diary for your son, or better yet, teach him to keep one. Just write the time, #1 or #2, and whether or not he actually made it to toilet (such as “1pm, #1, yes”). Very basic, very simple, but a way to keep track. This may be helpful to his doctor, too.
Often, changes are the biggest cause. It could be a good change, or a negative change. An old friend leaving, problems with family, etc. Other possible causes are infections, such as UTI’s, though these are really more common in girls than boys. I must mention that abuse is also always a possibility, but handle that subject carefully.
Anyway, these are just a few ramblings on the topic; but he really needs a good evaluation to determine the cause.
Cheers
