My 9 year old daughter has been having bed wetting accidents since she was 5 years old- i have tried everything and i dont know what else to do- she will have at least 2 accidents a week.  I really feel she gets into such a deep sleep that her bladder just releases the urine and does not respond to hold it in.  She also has hypo plastic left heart syndrome and takes a lasix and enalpril each morning- so im unsure if these medicine, being a diaruetic, are harming her bladder control?  need some advise Julie Gaerke
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I have few questions for you -1. Has your daughter stopped bed-wetting at certain age and again started having it2. If so at what age she stopped and when did it started she had never stopped bed-wetting form birth...you can try some behavioral changes which I can elaborate after proper history and interaction with you, but the effect will not be immediate, but it will be permanent. If it's a recurrence after attaining nighttime control, I suggest you see your pediatrician to rule out pathological causes like urinary infections or Voiding dysfunction. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
