What Is Enuresis?
In a person with normal bladder control, nerves in the bladder wall send a message to the brain when the bladder is full; the brain then sends a message back to the bladder to keep it from automatically emptying until the person is ready to go to irritate the bladder include coffee, tea, chocolate, and sodas or other carbonated beverages containing caffeine.
Imagine yourself dry. Using a technique called positive imagery, where you think about waking up dry before you go to sleep, can help some people stop bedwetting. Some people find that rewarding themselves for the bathroom. But people with nocturnal enuresis have a problem that causes them to pee involuntarily at night.
What Causes Enuresis?
Hormonal problems. Some people's bodies don't make enough ADH, which is the hormones that stops us from urinating too much, so they end up making too much urine, and sometimes end up urinating during their sleep.
Bladder problems. maybe too many muscle spasms or having a small bladders that can't hold a large volume of urine.
Genetics. Teens with enuresis often have a parent who had the same problem at about the same age.
Sleep problems. Some teens may sleep so deeply that they don't wake up when they need to pee
Medical conditions. diabetes, constipation, and urinary tract infections. Spinal cord trauma after fall, sports injury, auto accident, or surgery may also play a role in enuresis.
Psychological problems. stress can be associated with enuresis. Abusive parents, divorce, a death in the family, a moving house, new school, all can all feel overwhelming.
we don't know exactly why, but boys are twice more prone to hve enuresis than girls. It is frequently seen in combination with ADHD.
How Is Enuresis Diagnosed?
After a physical examination, the doctor will ask you about any concerns you have, your past health, your family's health, any medications you're taking, any allergies you may have, and other issues.
The initial exam will probably include a urine analysis and urine culture. In these tests, urine is examined for signs of disease.
How Is It Treated?
treating bedwetting depends on what's causing it. If an illness is responsible, it will be treated and then the bedwetting will go away.
If there is no specific medical problem, some behavioral approaches can be used for treatment:
You can reduce the chances that you'll wet the bed by going to the toilet just before bedtime.
It may help to avoid eating certain foods in the evening: Foods that can waking up dry also works.
Use bedwetting alarms. With these alarms, a bell or buzzer goes off when a person begins to wet the bed. Then, you can quickly turn the alarm off, go to the toilet, and go back to sleep without wetting the bed too much. It can take many weeks for the body to unlearn something it's been doing for years.
People who sleep very deeply may need to rely on a parent or other family member to wake them up if they don't hear the alarm.
Sometimes doctors treat enuresis with medication— but the problem usually returns when the medication is stopped. Doctors sometimes prescribe a manmade form of ADH to decrease urine buildup during the night. Other medications relax the bladder, allowing it to hold more urine.
The medical name for not being able to control your pee is enuresis (pronounced: en-yuh-ree-sis). or involuntary urination. If involuntary urination occurs at night, it’s called Nocturnal enuresis, if it happens during the day we’d call it diurnal enuresis.)
There are two kinds of enuresis: primary and secondary. With primary nocturnal enuresis, the person has wet the bed since he or she was a baby. Secondary enuresis is a condition that develops after a person has learned to control his or her
The good news is that it's likely that bedwetting will go away on its own. In fact, 15 out of 100 kids who wet the bed will stop every year without any treatment at all.
