Bed Wetting and Bed Soiling Clinic

Misericordia Community Hospital's comprehensive services in Child Health include clinics on Bed Wetting (Enuresis) and Bed Soiling (Encopresis) – the only clinics of their kind in Western Canada.

"A positive and caring attitude is essential"
– Child Health Clinic pamphlet
 

Children who are older than four years of age and experiencing bed wetting or bed soiling difficulties can be referred to the clinics by their family physician.  The clinics treat patients from Northern Alberta, British Columbia, and the Territories.

Both clinics send parents questionnaires to fill out before their appointment.  The clinics feature a multi-disciplinary team that includes a pediatrician and nurse, with other professionals, such as psychologists, being consulted as required. 

The Bed Wetting and Bed Soiling Clinics focus on developing individualized treatment plans that best meet the needs of the child and their family.  Both programs require a positive and caring attitude to address bed wetting or bed soiling. 

Treatment options for bed wetting include positive reinforcement, conditioning alarms and medications.  The Bed Soiling Clinic's treatments include educating the child and family on the causes of bed soiling and providing dietary counseling from a dietician.
