To help find a solution to minimise or cure your child’s incontinence, your doctor or medical professional will want to know the facts and history surrounding your child’s particular incontinence issues. For example;
- Voiding frequency and volume
- If it’s day-wetting or bed-wetting
- How often it happens, how much and in what situations your child wet themselves
- If there are any signs that your child has; like crossing the legs, walking on tiptoes or sitting on the heel.
- Bowel movements
- Eating and drinking habits
- If there are any treatments or medications your child is taking
- Anything else that could affect the situation, like a disease etc.
Sometimes keeping a diary of your child’s bladder and bowel movements can help to give your doctor a better insight into their situation.
