Are there different kinds of bedwetting?
Yes there are. Never having been dry at night since coming out of diapers is what is called “primary” bedwetting, and that’s the most common problem, and is the one which is passed on in the genes. When a child has been dry and starts to wet the bed, perhaps in the daytime too, that is called “secondary” bedwetting, because it is secondary to some other problem. It is most likely to be caused by a medical condition or perhaps an upset of some kind. This secondary type is the one that needs to be checked out by a doctor. However, it is fairly uncommon, perhaps around 1-2% of cases.
