Bedwetting (also known as sleep enuresis and urinary incontinence) is a fairly common condition in young children and is seen as a sign of an immature, developing bladder. It is estimated that 15% of children over three, and 10% over five wet the bed occasionally. In fact, most doctors don't consider bedwetting in children to be a sign of a problem unless the child is older than seven years old, or the child has begun wetting the bed again after six months of maintaining overnight bladder control. However, when adults wet the bed it is often an indication of an underlying illness, disease, or a symptom of other untreated medical conditions. For adults, wetting the bed can not only be a devastatingly embarrassing condition, but it is often a sign of other medical troubles. If you're an adult who frequently wets the bed, it's a good idea to discuss your symptoms with your primary care provider to find the root cause of your problem. Here is a list of common causes of sleep enuresis: Causes of adult bedwetting 1)Genetics: One of the first places to look for causes of urinary incontinence is whether there is a family history of bedwetting. 2)Urinary tract infection (UTI) 3)Small bladder Diabetes Kidney disease 4)Enlarged prostate gland 5)Prostate cancer 6)Bladder cancer Side effects of medications: >Neurological disorders >Stress >Anxiety >Fear >Other psychological issues e.t.c... Treatments for sleep enuresis: 1)Set fluid intake limitations: Reduce or cut out caffeine and alcohol from diet Make urinating a routine. 2)Set a schedule to make sure to urinate every one to two hours during the day 3)Void bladder: before bedtime even when you don't quite feel the need to go Set a night time bathroom alarm to urinate in the middle of the night 4)Protect your bed with special mattress covers 5)Wear absorbent briefs during the night /END/ Cc: lalasticlala Mydd44 Fynestboi Mukina2 Olawalebabs Richiez
