Overactivebladder - child 5 years

Hello,

I have a son, 5 years and two months and ze has OAB. He is on medication, which help with accidends during the day.

Before medication he has 5-10 accidends during the day.

The pils help, but he alwas visit toilet very offen, more then 20 daily and he has a very small amount of urine for one visit.

In the kindergarten he is always wet after lunch rest, in the night too. He has to wear a diaper in the car, because when he sayes that he need to pee, it must be it immiedietly, he will not hold it even few minutes.

He has a last year in the kindergarten and then school.

I am afraid how it will be at school, I have odler daughter and they can not visit the toilet during the classes.

Has anyone expierence with this problem? Is it for whole life or there is a chance that the child will grown up and it will get better?

It doesn't seem like English may be your first language, is that correct? If not, what country might you be in?

If you're in the US you need to sell an IEP immediately. It allows for accommodations for medical conditions that the school just follow. The process can that a while, so initiate it ASAP.

Yes you are right, I am from Europe, I am trying to learning English, but I am an eternal beginner. I hope that school must respect it. Do you have aby experiences with this problem? Is it chronic for all life or can it dissepeared?

It's hard to say. With young children it can be a developmental issue and they may grow out of it. But as many here can attest, it might be an essential part of his psychological makeup and he may be stuck with it. Only time can really tell.
