Adult Bedwetting: Causes And Tips To Help by gechyy2(f): 8:09am On Sep 12, 2017
Stella went to sleep in a very happy mood after visiting friends and having a good time she retired happily, Stella felt like urinating and woke up walked to the bathroom and eased herself in fact at some point she thought she was dreaming but asked herself if she was in the bathroom, she looked around and yes she was, so she freely emptied her bowels and stepped out of the bathroom, suddenly she felt uncomfortable and there was a little turn and then Alas! It was all a dream she actually wet her Bed.

I guess few Adult population can relate with Stella’s experience, the truth is, Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) is real among a few adult population, embarrassing as it may seem , it’s quite tough to talk about your condition with someone even your Doctor because it’s considered to be a ‘kids thing’ but it’s not entirely your fault it’s actually an involuntary act caused by a few reasons ranging from lifestyle choice, small to hyperactive bladder or an underlying medical condition. If you are an adult who wets the bed it’s advisable you discuss with your Doctor.

Here are some causes of Adult Bedwetting

1. Family History: It could run in family, so the first place to probably check and ask questions is from your family, whether there is a family history of bedwetting or urinary incontinence.

2. Small Bladder: If you have the functional bladder capacity(FBC) of your bladder being small, you are prone to bedwetting. The FBC is the amount of urine the bladder holds before sending a signal to the brain to indicate the need to void.

3. Hyperactive Bladder: Some people have hyperactive bladder and studies have found it’s a cause of bedwetting, it simply means the bladder contracts at will, it’s kind of overactive.

4. Urinary Tract Infection: bacteria in the bladder can cause irritation of the bladder wall, which could cause frequent urination, can even make it difficult for you to hold urine especially at night

5. Kidney disease: some kidneys make large amount of urine than the normal especially at night, this may cause bedwetting

6. Diabetes: High blood sugar leads to Diabetes. Lots of sugary urine are made as the kidney tries to lower the sugar, so you pass more urine in the day and during the night (you are also thirsty). If your bladder control is poor, this could cause bed-wetting. The problem goes away when the diabetes is treated.
7. Certain medications: Some drugs can irritate your bladder and cause overactivity.

8. Alcohol intake: Drinks that contain alcohol and caffeine if taken in excess can lead to bedwetting.

Tips to Help

1. Reduce your Alcohol and caffeinated drinks

2. Reduce water intake at night

3. Visit the bathroom often, make it a routine, schedule every two hours to ease yourself even if you don’t feel like emptying your bowels do it still.

4. Set Alarm at night to help you visit the bathroom

5. Protect your Bed with special covering

6. Visit your healthcare professional for expert examination
