The Center for Voiding Disorders in Children (CEDIMI) of Bahiana Starting this March, it began offering home care for patients aged 5 to 17, with remote monitoring via teleconsultation and the use of therapeutic equipment provided by the team. A total of 100 slots are available for this new format, and those interested can schedule their first appointment by calling (71) 98217-0084.
The initiative aims to facilitate access to treatment and reduce the need for frequent travel. In the home-based model, families receive the equipment used in therapy and have access to multidisciplinary support. Among the resources used is sacral neurostimulation, a non-invasive technique that stimulates the nerves responsible for bladder control, promoting the regulation of the micturition reflex. The treatment shows good results, especially when combined with behavioral guidance and clinical follow-up.
According to experts, enuresis should not be seen merely as a phase of childhood, especially when it persists after the age of five, as it can impact a child's self-esteem and social interaction. It is estimated that about 10% of school-aged children still experience episodes of nocturnal enuresis. With the expansion of home care services, CEDIMI seeks to reach more families, including those living in other cities or facing mobility difficulties, encouraging proper diagnosis and treatment.
