A new study finds that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are with higher risk of bladder control disorder such as bedwetting compare to those children or their friends who does not have the said disorder. Some researchers conduct a survey between children with ADHD and without ADHD about their bedwetting problems and other bladder control warning signs through questionnaires. The result is that children with ADHD have higher respondents who answered of their bladder control symptoms. Most of them have more problems of bedwetting and have the pressing feeling to go to the bathroom to urinate urgently. The research findings proposed that the occurrence of all bladder control problems, not only inability to control urination have a higher rate with those children who have ADHD. Some other studies recommend that 30% of the children with ADHD have involuntary control of urination during the day and have bedwetting problems while asleep. While for some claimed that voiding problems has no definite connection between ADHD because it is mostly caused of anxiety or family stress, problem in school, and some diseases. Also, the cause of voiding problems maybe has something to do with the medications the child is taking or maybe with the disorder itself. But the reason is not 100% clear to them. Other doctors cannot even identify the cause of bladder control problems. There are also physicians who has a specialize knowledge and skills regarding urinary tract problems says that maybe there is small chance of linking ADHD and urinary problems because there are only few studies and researches that have been made regarding this disorder. Suggestions been given, such as that the side effects of medication could be one factor in the occurrence of bladder control symptoms and other voiding problems in children with ADHD, however, more studies and researches that are needed to be made to confirm and to clear before conclusion. Through these, they will be able identify another underlying reasons for this connection. Many physicians suggest that treating the condition separately like giving psycho stimulants drugs for ADHD and behavioral changes or psychotherapy could help in their voiding problems. Parents with children who are diagnosed with ADHD should have a total awareness for this connection. For some parents may think that when their child has difficulty to hold their urination, it means that it just a part of the disorder. Parents must also be aware that this problem can be solved by limiting the drinks of their kids in the evening. For more transforming strategies for ADHD, visit http://askdoctorjohn.info/
