Bedwetting is not a disease

Bedwetting is not a disease. In almost all cases, it is a matter of delayed toilet training during the night. Bedwetting is only considered a "medical" problem by doctors if a child over 12 still wets the bed at least once a month. It is only considered a "medical" problem if the child also experiences it as such. The medical term for bedwetting is "enuresis nocturna." Bedwetting almost never has a physical cause. However, the GP or pediatrician will always try to rule this out. Once a physical cause has been ruled out, a bedwetting alarm is one of the solutions for bedwetting in your 12-year-old child.

Other solutions than the bedwetting alarm

For children aged 12 and up, there are other solutions besides a bedwetting alarm. Medication, for example. The advantage is that medication works immediately; the kidneys then stop producing urine. This is useful if the child is staying somewhere else. The medication does not solve the problem of bedwetting in children aged 12. If the child stops taking the medication, there is a good chance that the bedwetting will return.

You can, of course, just wait. Each year, about 11 percent of children who wet the bed stop doing so on their own. A switch has been flipped and the signals are suddenly recognized. However, we do not recommend this, as it does not contribute to the child's self-image. Children who wet the bed do not want to have sleepovers with friends and feel very restricted as a result.

The bedwetting alarm for children aged 12 and up is characterized by another special feature: the insights it offers. As a parent, you often only find out in the morning that your child has had an accident. Many children are ashamed and do not say anything about it, so sometimes it only becomes clear in the evening, when the wet bed is discovered, that the child had wet the bed the previous night.

When an accident occurs, a notification is immediately sent to your phone via our handy mobile app. This information can also be shared with the doctor so that they can immediately get an idea of the child's bedwetting behavior.
