Bedwetting is one of the most common problems every family faces every night, these is mostly common among young ages children, bedwetting can be such an embarrassing situation not only for the child but the whole family.

Bedwetting is not a permanent disease which means it usually goes away on its own. But until it does, No Sleep over at Friend or family House, this can be embarrassing and uncomfortable for your child.

"Ninety percent of kids think they're the only ones who wet the bed, which makes them feel even worse," says Bennett.

Doctors frequently consider bedwetting as a self-limiting problem, since most children will outgrow it. Children 5 to 9 years old have a spontaneous cure rate of 14% per year. Adolescents 10 to 18 years old have a spontaneous cure rate of 16% per year.

Approximate bedwetting rates are:

Age 5: 20%
Age 6: 10–15%
Age 7: 7%
Age 10: 5%
Age 15: 1–2%
Age 18–64: 0.5–1%

Types of Bedwetting

There are 2 types of bedwetting: primary and secondary. Primary means bedwetting that has been ongoing since early childhood without a break. A child with primary bedwetting has never been dry at night for any significant length of time.

Secondary bedwetting is bedwetting that starts up after the child has been dry at night for a significant period of time, at least 6 months.

Major problem for children with primary bedwetting would be the inability to recognize messages in the nervous system sent from the full bladder to your sleep arousal centers in the brain while asleep. Also, bladder capacity is often smaller in bedwetting children than inside their peers.
