A Visit to the Urologist for Bedwetting

What to Expect During Your Urologist Checkup

By Cara J. Stevens

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

While a visit to the urologist is an important step to take, it's equally important to note that one visit will not cure bedwetting. "Getting over bedwetting is a process; it's not something that will be fixed next week or that a medication will fix," Arnhym says. However, whether or not you decide on a specific course of action, one of the best outcomes of the visit is that it opens up the topic of bedwetting for discussion – and that can be one of the best solutions of all.

Oral History

These are some standard questions the health care provider may ask during your doctor's visit:

  • How often does the child wet the bed or have an accident during the day?
  • How often does the child urinate, and what is the stream like?
  • How often does the child have bowel movements? Does he ever get constipated? Are there any streaks in the bowels? Are the bowel movements especially hard or soft?
  • How deep a sleeper is your child? How easy is he to wake up?
  • Did either parent have a problem with bedwetting as a child?
  • Were there any complications when the child was born?
  • How did potty training go? Was your child ever dry?
