Finding out more about bed-wetting (enuresis) is a good first step to helping your child get through it. You'll soon see that even though there aren't any easy answers or quick fixes, there are ideas to help you and your child cope with the problem until it goes away. And there's reassurance in knowing you're not the only one with this problem.

So learn all there is to know about bed-wetting, and take active steps to help your family through it.

How a Doctor Can Help

The first person to talk to about bed-wetting is the doctor. Your child's physician can help you figure out why your child is wetting the bed and recommend the best course of treatment.

There are several treatments available today that offer short-term relief. All of them take time, and unfortunately, none have a 100 percent success rate. Our site can help you have a more informed discussion with your doctor about your child's bed-wetting and all of your options.

We've outlined some of the techniques doctors are now using to offer short-term relief from bed-wetting. Many people have success with these treatments. However, the doctor will be the first to tell you there are no guarantees.

Most kids just outgrow the problem. Your child can use DryNites Pyjama Pants with any of these treatment options to keep their sheets dry while you're waiting for the treatment to become effective. Please consult with your doctor to make sure this information is right for your child as some circumstances will warrant different treatments.

Treatment

Sleep Conditioning

The doctor may prescribe a nighttime alarm that attaches inside your child's underwear or DryNites absorbent underpants; when your child begins to wet, the alarm wakes them so they can go to the bathroom.

Medication

The doctor may prescribe medication meant to stop bed-wetting. Medication is generally only used for more difficult cases and/or special occasions. Mostly medication is used only for a limited time.
