Cleanliness in Boys and Girls.

Like many parents, it's common to ask the question: Why is my son more behind in toilet training than my daughter was at his age?

It's a fact that boys will take longer to get through the phase of completely dry nights than girls . Store, 70% of the children we treat for bedwetting are indeed boys.

There are no clear and precise answers or rules to this phenomenon. If your son continues to wet the bed later than your daughter, there's no need to worry. Boys typically mature later in terms of toilet training, especially at night, than girls.

On the other hand, it is easier and faster to treat enuresis in a boy than in a girl.

A just return of things?

Not necessarily, but logically, bedwetting in girls is treated later than in boys; because parents all have the same attitude: waiting until an age when bedwetting becomes a problem and a concern for the family and the child. However, the reference age for this is around 5 or 6 years old. Therefore, bedwetting in girls will be more established than in boys.

Should we be alarmed?

Yes and no, because bedwetting is very easily treated with a bedwetting alarm. The most important thing is not to dramatize the situation and to administer the treatment when your child feels the need and desire. The mistake to avoid is letting bedwetting become so commonplace that it becomes normal.

Many parents hope it will resolve itself, but in reality, only 10% of children with enuresis become dry per calendar year. Given these results, you can easily imagine that a child without treatment can continue to wet the bed for more than 5 years on average, and some for almost 10 years. Approximately 1% of adults, without treatment, will continue to have this problem throughout their lives.

The correct procedure to follow:

Whether your child is a boy or a girl, bedwetting is part of their development and shouldn't be stigmatized too early. If your child is a boy, you'll need to give him a little more time to learn to dry his bed at night. After the age of 5 or 6, it's important to address bedwetting, whether it's a girl or a boy. Medication doesn't provide satisfactory and lasting results, and we advise you to take a shortcut by quickly opting for a bedwetting alarm.
