Pediatric Bowel or Bladder Incontinence
AKA bedwetting, soiling, dribbling, wetting pants, accidents — you name it. There are solutions, and you are not alone.
More Common Than You Think
10% of children over 5 years old experience urine leakage (enuresis). It can occur during the day — urgency, dribbling, wetting pants — or at night (bedwetting). About 3% have fecal leakage (encopresis).
Both bladder and bowel leaks can be associated with constipation, problems with muscular tone or control. Diet too can play a role.
Unfortunately, children rarely "outgrow" these conditions on their own, and it is often mistakenly believed to be a behavioral problem. It isn't — and children would certainly prefer not to have these issues!
The good news is there are solutions and you are not alone! We will partner with you and your child to resolve these problems which, if untreated, can become persistent, lasting for years.

Daytime Urinary Incontinence
Urgency, dribbling, or wetting pants during waking hours. Often related to bladder muscle control or urgency signals.
Nocturnal Enuresis (Bedwetting)
Involuntary urination during sleep in children old enough to be expected to stay dry at night.
Fecal Incontinence (Encopresis)
Involuntary leakage of stool, often associated with chronic constipation and overflow.
Constipation-Related
Bowel and bladder issues frequently co-occur with constipation, which can put pressure on the bladder and disrupt normal control.
Our Approach
Dr. Castle takes a whole-child approach — evaluating muscular tone, coordination, posture, and habits to identify the root cause of your child's incontinence.
Treatment is individualized and may include pelvic floor muscle training, behavioral strategies, dietary guidance, and coordination exercises. We work closely with your child's pediatrician and other providers as needed.
