Question
My younger brother is 6 years old and has been frequently having accidents in his pants lately. Could this be due to childhood hyperactivity disorder? Please provide an expert answer, thank you!
Answer
Urinary incontinence may occur when abdominal pressure increases during standing or walking, causing the urethral sphincter to relax and unable to control urine loss. In women, urinary incontinence may occur after pregnancy or childbirth due to damage to the pelvic floor muscles or nerves. Non-surgical treatments include perineal muscle exercises, performed several times a day, with each session lasting about 30 repetitions, and should be continued for half a year. In terms of surgical treatment, bladder neck suspension surgery is also a viable option with satisfactory results.
