incontinence/nosebleeds/behavior issues

[lycoriss]

My 5 yr old daughter is experiencing a few different problems and I am not sure if they have anything in common but I fear that something is really wrong.

She has problems with:
urinary incontinence
destructive behavior
nose bleeds
multiple crying episodes at night without waking
sensitivity to sound
forgetfullness

Are these signs of something medical or just seperate coincidental things?

Hi,
My 5yr old dau has all those too except the nose bleeds, but then she has bowel problems too.

I have been mainly focussing on the bowel and bladder problems because they have been the most obvious but now beginning to wonder about some of these other observational things happening too and wonder if its all interconnected.

I am seeing a pediatrician for her bowel and urinary incontinence and we are taking further steps to have more testing done for that.  But I am certainly going to be mentioning her other problems as well.

If you are concerned you should take her to your local GP or see a pediatrician.  Sometimes a mums gut instinct is all we can go by if something doesnt seem right.

Good luck

Thank you so much for you response.  I was thinking that was crazy and making something out of nothing because no one else seems to think that all of these problems mean anything.  But as her mother, I feel that there is more to it.  Knowing that there is someone else out there with a daughter dealing these same issues gives me the strength to seek help regardless of how other family members feel about it.  Again, thank you and good luck with your daughter, I hope everything goes well for the two of you.
