"Reassurance alone is a disservice. Families with an enuretic
child deserve information and treatment." (Barton Schmitt,
MD)
When should you seek treatment for your child? The decision should
be made with involvement by the child and family. A knowledgeable
family who understands the actual causes, psychosocial issues and
treatment choices can make an informed decision. Once you understand
the issues relating to your child's wetting, you can decide if your
family is ready to make the necessary changes to achieve dryness.
It is normally time to seek help if:
Your child is over six and continues to experience day or night
wetting
Your family is motivated (you are frustrated with the daily
chores)
Your doctor or nurse practitioner has recommended treatment
or an alarm
You have tried other programs without success
Enuresis Associates can assist you in determining a suitable treatment
approach for your child. After evaluation of a diet and stool history,
urine measurements, physical exam and urine test, a treatment plan
is recommended. The child and parents are all involved in the implementation
of this plan.
