Developing bladder control overnight will not happen on a defined schedule, and some children need more time than their friends to stop bruising. The key here is to provide everything you need to reduce your chances of having bruises (also known as bed-wetting or night-time bed wetting). However, this is not a problem that occurs only in young children. Whether you are trying to help your child or helping yourself, you can control the incontinence with patience and dedication.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: End baby bruising

1. 

   Don't panic. Nearly 15% of children still have bruises until they are 5 years old. Although this number will gradually decrease, in general, you should not worry about urination until the child is 7 years old. Before this age, your child's bladder and bladder control are still in the developing stage.

2. 

   
   
   Limit the amount of fluids your baby consumes at night. At bedtime, you should try to limit the amount of fluids your baby drinks. This does not mean that you should not give them water all day. On the other hand, encouraging children to drink water and morning and early noon will help reduce thirst for water in the evening. If your child is thirsty at night, especially if they are engaged in sports or other physical activity, you are Candlestick give them water.
   • If your school allows it, you should have them bring a water bottle to prevent them from drinking too much in the afternoon and evening.

3. 

   
   
   Avoid giving your child caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it can make you feel like you urinate. Although you should generally avoid caffeine, this is especially true when you are trying to stop bed-wetting.

4. 

   Minimize bladder irritants. In addition to caffeine, you should try to minimize other types of bladder irritants at night that can cause your baby to blush. These include citrus juices, colorants (especially red fruit juices), sweeteners, and artificial flavors.

5. 

   
   
   Encourage your child to use the toilet regularly. In the afternoon and evening, you should encourage your child to use the toilet every two hours. This method will help your child not feel like going to the toilet at night.

6. 

   Use the technique of "going to the bathroom twice" before going to bed. Many kids go to the toilet early in bedtime when they are about to change into their pajamas, brush their teeth, etc. “Going to the bathroom twice” means your child will use the toilet once, and then go to the toilet one more time just before they actually fall asleep.

7. 

   Deal with the situation constipation. Pressure from a child's rectum due to constipation can be manifested by the act of diaper rash. To make matters more difficult, young children often feel ashamed to discuss constipation, but this simple problem accounts for about a third of uncontrolled bruising in children.
   • If you know your child is constipated, you can give him a high fiber diet for a few days. If this method doesn't make a difference, you should see your pediatrician. There are quite a few good options available to help constipated children.

8. 

   Children should never be punished. Although the process will be quite frustrating, you should never punish your child for having a bruise. Surely they are also feeling ashamed of this incident and want to end it like you. Instead of punishing your child, reward him for the nights they don't pee.
   • You can reward your child with everything from being allowed to play games, stickers, to the food they love for dinner. Use rewards that you know they'll like.

9. 

   Try a splash alarm if necessary. Waking your baby up before you go to bed to let them go to the toilet will frustrate your baby and not be able to get a full rest. You also won't want to wake them up at times you don't need them. This wake-up device is attached to a underwear or a mattress pad and emits a tone as soon as it detects moisture, allowing your child to wake up and only go to the toilet when a bruising is imminent.

10. 

    See a pediatrician. Childhood bruising can be a sign of a more serious problem in some cases. To be safe, you should see your pediatrician to check for a few types of conditions:
    • Sleep apnea
    • Urinary tract infections
    • Diabetes
    • Abnormalities of the urinary tract or nervous system

11. 

    Consult with your pediatrician about medication use. Because bruises usually clear up on their own as they get older, doctors rarely recommend medications for your child. However, some drugs will serve as last resort. These include:
    • Desmopressin (DDAVP), an anti-diuretic hormone booster, reduces nocturia. However, they can have side effects and affect sodium intake, and you need to monitor the amount of fluids your child consumes while taking the medicine.
    • Oxybutynin (Ditropan XL), reduces bladder spasm and enhances its capacity.

Method 2 of 2: End bruising in adolescents and adults

1. 

   Limit your fluid intake in the evening. If you limit the amount of fluids you take for a few hours before bed, your body will produce less urine during the night, preventing flushing.
   • This doesn't mean you should minimize the overall amount of water you drink. You should try to drink about 8 glasses of water a day. Just try to drink water in the morning and noon. It is important to stay hydrated because dehydration also causes bruising in adults.

2. 

   Avoid consuming too much caffeine or alcohol. Both types are diuretics, meaning they cause your body to produce more urine. Alcohol also makes it harder for you to wake up at night to urinate when needed, leading to bruising. Stay away from caffeinated beverages and drink too much in the evening.

3. 

   Treatment constipation. Constipation can put pressure on your bladder and reduce your ability to control it during the night. If splashes are accompanied by constipation, you should increase the amount of fiber in your diet, green leafy vegetables, beans, and plant-based foods are excellent sources of fiber.

   Use a beam alarm. This type of device will help teenagers and adults who need to train their bodies to respond when they have to urinate.

5. 

   Check for side effects of the medication. A possible side effect of some medications is an increased incidence of flushing. You should check to see if the medication you are taking is the cause of this problem, but you will need to consult your doctor before changing the prescription medications you are taking. Some medications that can cause incontinence include:
   • Clozapine
   • Risperidone
   • Olanzapine
   • Quetiapine

6. 

   Watch for other signs of sleep apnea. If you snore quite loudly and wake up in the morning with chest pain, headache, and sore throat symptoms, you are suffering from sleep apnea. In adults who have never had problems controlling their bladder before, bruising is another symptom associated with this condition.
   • If you believe that you have sleep apnea, you should see your doctor for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.

7. 

   Seek medical attention. If your flushing does not occur because you drink too much water or are constipated, you should see your doctor. Secondary bruising (infiltration in a person with long term bladder control) is often a symptom of another problem. Your doctor will conduct tests to rule out a few other conditions, including:
   • Diabetes
   • Neurological disorders
   • Urinary tract infections
   • Urinary tract stones
   • Enlargement / prostate cancer
   • Bladder cancer
   • Anxiety or emotional disturbances

8. 

   Consult about drugs. You may consider options for several medications to help control adult incontinence. You should consult with your doctor about which option will work best for your situation during the consultation process. Options include:
   • Desmopressin, which causes the kidneys to produce less urine.
   • Imipramine, has been shown to be effective in about 40% of cases.
   • Drugs belonging to the anticholinergic group, treating the overactive smooth muscle activity, include the drug darifenacin, oxybutynin, and trospium chloride.

9. 

   Consult about surgical methods. This option is specific to the severe case of overactive smooth muscles, and is usually only used when you have problems with daytime incontinence and bruising. Surgery is the last resort. Your doctor will likely discuss methods:
   • Bladder enlargement - This is a surgical procedure that increases bladder capacity by placing a bowel graft in an incision that enlarges the bladder.
   • Splitting the smooth muscles of the bladder - This procedure removes part of the smooth muscle and helps strengthen and minimize bladder contractions.
   • Sacral nerve stimulation - This surgical procedure minimizes the smooth muscle movement by altering the activity of the nerve that controls it.
