Diagnosis
Depending on the circumstances, your doctor may recommend the following to identify any underlying cause of bed-wetting and help determine treatment:
- Physical exam
- Discussion of symptoms, fluid intake, family history, bowel and bladder habits, and problems associated with bed-wetting
- Urine tests to check for signs of an infection or diabetes
- X-rays or other imaging tests of the kidneys or bladder to look at the structure of the urinary tract
- Other types of urinary tract tests or assessments, as needed
