Professionals Who Can Help with Bedwetting

Depending on the cause of a child's bedwetting, and how he or she reacts to it, here are some types of health professionals who can help:

  • Pediatrician - The first person you consult about your child's bedwetting should be his or her pediatrician. It's a common issue in children, and a pediatrician can run tests to check for physiological problems and other causes of bedwetting. He or she can also refer you to another professional if necessary.
  • Pediatric Nephrologist or Urologist - Children's kidney or urinary system specialists handle medical issues that can cause or prolong bedwetting. They can help you determine whether training, counseling, or surgery are indicated in your child's particular case.
  • Child Psychologist / Therapist - If other areas of your child's life are affected by his or her bedwetting, your child may benefit from professional help in developing coping strategies. A child's self esteem and social life can be damaged by a bedwetting problem, and sometimes emotional help is needed.
