Why is dd wetting herself? (age 10)

[Sally872]

10 year old dd wetting herself most days. She says it is when she is laughing and she can't help it.

Not an amount of wee friends would notice so she isn't embarrassed but pants do need changed. Been going on for 7-10 days.

Initially thought she was distracted or lazy about coming home for toilet, but I have been reminding her and ensuring she goes regularly.

Google suggested stress incontinence (happens when laughing/sneezing/jumping etc) but I am not sure why it would happen now, or if she is a bit young.

Plan to track toilet and accidents, attempt kegals (no idea if she is doing it or not) and go to the doctor in a few days.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? And how it was resolved. If it is a urine infection would there be other signs?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks @CoraPirbright that is very reassuring if it is giggle incontinence.

@Crunchymum

Maybe use the advice you were given when you posted about your 4.5yo and their pissing issues a few months ago?

Sigh.

Bloody hell poor op was only looking for advice. Why be such an arsehole?

This hopefully is very irrelevant to you and I really don’t even want to say it but wen I was 11 I was abused and started doing this years later wen my mum found out she remembered and said she wished to of paid more attention to it apparently it’s quite common response something to think about if any one had those sorts of suspicions but I’m sure there’s a much more harmless explanation for it

Go ahead and continue to share stories about your children's incontinence with strangers who may or may not have ulterior motives.

MN has become a hive for it.

Not necessarily saying the OP isn't genuine, but MN is the last place I'd post about intimate issues as you just cannot vouch for who is doing what with your (usually overshared) posts.
