‘Time to Take Action’ for World Bedwetting Day on 24th May! Are you ready?

globe80Bedwetting does not have a psychological cause, in most cases it is caused by over-production of urine at night or reduced capacity of the bladder.

This medical condition can have a serious detrimental effect on the child’s self-esteem, emotional well-being and day time functioning, including school and social performance. However, the impact on the child and their family is often underestimated and trivialised.

The International Children’s Continence Society (ICCS) and the European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU) launched World Bedwetting Day (WBD) in 2015. This year’s event takes place on May 24th 2016 and continues to raise awareness among the public and healthcare professionals of the facts around this common medical condition.

WBD 2016’s slogan is ‘Time to Take Action’, in recognition that much more can be done to diagnose and treat children who suffer from bedwetting.
