NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be more likely than their peers to have problems with bedwetting and other bladder control symptoms, a new study finds.

Some past research has suggested that up to 30 percent of children with attention deficit disorders have had problems with wetting themselves, either during the day or while sleeping -- what doctors call enuresis. The new findings suggest that “the incidence of all voiding problems, not only enuresis, increases in children with ADHD,” Dr. Ozgu Aydogdu, one of the researchers on the study, told Reuters Health in an e-mail. It’s not fully clear why that is. But it could have to do with the stimulant medications used to treat ADHD, or with the disorder itself, according to Aydogdu, of Ankara University School of Medicine in Turkey. But the small size limits the conclusions that can be drawn, said Dr. Lane S. Palmer, chief of pediatric urology at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York. “I think people have known that there is this association, but it has not been well-catalogued,” Palmer told Reuters Health. He said that large studies are still needed both to pin down the incidence of bladder-control problems in children with ADHD, and to understand the underlying reasons. Medication side effects could be one factor, Palmer noted, but research is needed to confirm that. On average, children with ADHD scored an 11 on a questionnaire gauging urinary tract symptoms -- including bedwetting and habitually feeling an urgent need to urinate or to “hold” it in. In general, a score of nine or higher suggests bladder problems, according to the researchers. When the researchers looked at the children’s symptom diaries, 22 percent of the ADHD group had problems like bedwetting or urinary incontinence over three days. That compared with 5 percent of the control group.

Annual costs associated with the condition range from $12,000 to 17,000 per child. “Parents should be aware that some of these children will have voiding issues,” Palmer said. He added that some parents might think that voiding problems are “just a part” of ADHD. “But they should be aware that it can be addressed,” he said. According to Palmer, treatment usually means various types of behavior changes -- like limiting liquids in the evening and having kids wear a programmable watch that reminds them to take bathroom breaks at regular intervals during the day. It can be more difficult for kids with ADHD to make such changes compared with other children. So it’s important to individualize children’s therapy, Palmer said, which may mean setting smaller goals along the way for kids with ADHD.
