Bed Wetting/ Pain in stomach

6 replies

My daughter is 7, almost 8. She has wet the bed in the past, but on an infrequent basis. She is a very heavy sleeper.
In the last couple of weeks she has been complaining of a pain in her tummy, pointing at the centre (belly button area). It seems to come and go, she has no other symptoms although she does appear a little pale and tired at times. Her appetite is not affected and she is carrying on with day to day activities etc. as normal. Giving some calpol or nurofen does seem to help, but how much is psychosomatic, I don’t know!
She has wet the bed a few times since she started complaining of the pain but in the last 4 nights, it’s been every single night, which is extremely unusual for her.
Is there any possible connection between her tummy pain and the bedwetting? Trying to figure out if it’s psychological or physical really. She is struggling a little with maths and has recently started getting some extra help with it, which I know is bothering her a little, but other than that no apparent issues. Any thoughts much appreciated.

Could it be a UTI?

Take a urine sample to the GP

Doesn't seem to be a UTI, no pain etc but I'll get her checked out thanks.

My dc had UTI with stomach pain but no pain when urinating. Worth checking.

Check for thread worm. This can cause unexplained bed wetting AND tummy pain. Not all children itch with threadworms. It may not be but I went through this with my 4 year old and turned out to be threadworms.
