Pediatric Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction
Numerous children and their caregivers suffer from the anxiety and negative impact caused by childhood bladder and bowel control issues. The bladder and bowel share the same nerves, and children with constipation often have bladder dysfunction. At Grace Physical Therapy, we can help families resolve issues such as:
- Daytime wetting
- Bedwetting
- Constipation
- Fecal incontinence
- Urinary/fecal retention
- Frequent UTIs
Treatment for children does NOT involve any internal assessment or treatment, but will likely include:
- Child-friendly biofeedback to gain control of pelvic muscles
- Behavioral strategies
- Parent and child education
- Monitoring and support until issues are resolved
