Can puberty cause bedwetting
| Mon, 10-15-2007 - 3:18am |
Hi
I have a 13 year old daughter who has just started wetting the bed, she has been dry during the night since she was 4 or 5.

Personally I have never heard of puberty causing bedwetting. I would call the doctor and tell him/her what has happened and see what they have to say.
I would also have a talk with her and see if anything is bothering her, often if there it something bothering a child this will happen. I don't want to scare you, but this is also a major sign of sexual abuse or that a child has been molested.
Just to add to my previous post, I agree with Sue that stress could be playing a part here. And puberty certainly is a time of stress! I think that was definitely one of the issues in my DS's case. If it continues, and your physician and a urologist can't find any physical cause for it, a counselor might be helpful to sort out whether anything else is going on with your DD emotionally.
