Bed-wetting

Diagnosis

Depending on the circumstances, your doctor may recommend the following to identify any underlying cause of bed-wetting and help determine treatment:

  • Physical exam
  • Discussion of symptoms, fluid intake, family history, bowel and bladder habits, and problems associated with bed-wetting
  • Urine tests to check for signs of an infection or diabetes
  • X-rays or other imaging tests of the kidneys or bladder to look at the structure of the urinary tract
  • Other types of urinary tract tests or assessments, as needed
