BedwettingAndAccidents.com is a resource for parents, medical professionals, therapists, and teachers and is run jointly by pediatric urologist Steve Hodges, M.D., and health journalist Suzanne Schlosberg.
Our unique materials respect children's feelings and intelligence and are grounded in rigorous scientific research.
Our approach is based on the proven premise that virtually all cases of enuresis and encopresis are caused by chronic constipation — not by behavior issues, “deep sleep,” an underdeveloped bladder, stress, or hormonal imbalance.
M.O.P. is an enema-based regimen that stops bedwetting and accidents far better than medication, alarms, or Miralax. And it's recommended by experts at Mayo Clinic. Pre-M.O.P. combines suppositories and laxatives and can save families from the financial and emotional costs of treating enuresis and encopresis.
