4 - CHILD AND ADULT INCONTINENCE

Some children wet the bed for a long time. Others have accidents during the day. Bedwetting in children is common, but treatment is simple and rarely causes problems for long.

Daytime urinary incontinence is common in preschool children and can continue into kindergarten and primary school. In fact, it has been found that daytime urinary incontinence occurs approximately once a week in 3% of children (mostly girls) with an average age of 5.9 years.
