Urinary incontinence refers to a condition where there is a lack of control of urine in the bladder. This is one of the common causes of bedwetting which is a major problem in many children. This problem may also be seen in children who are above the age of seven or eight. Urinary continence usually cures on its own without needing any major medication. Parents nowadays are prone to keep their babies in diapers. However, this is an unhealthy practice as it makes the urine come into continuous contact with the baby’s skin. This may give rise to redness, irritation, and allergies. If corrected surgically, urinary incontinence can be treated effectively in children and they may get rid of their urinary leakage problem.  Dr. Jyotsna Kirtane, paediatric surgeon from Mumbai, Maharashtra discusses urinary incontinence in children.
