Bedwetting & Urinary Incontinence

Bedwetting is often associated with childhood. Indeed, up to one-quarter of children experience problems with nocturnal enuresis (wetting the bed at night). Most children grow out of the condition when their bladders become larger and better developed. Research suggests that bed-wetting occurs in 1 to 2 percent of adults. However, the number is probably higher. Some adults are likely embarrassed or unwilling to talk with their doctor about the problem. But living with this problem can be not only embarrassing, but also unpleasant. It can often lead to a higher probability of getting a Urinary Tract Infection. There are some methods for decreasing the incidence of bedwetting including:

• Monitor fluid intake. Try to slow your fluid intake in the afternoon and evening. Drink more in the early morning when you can use the bathroom easily. Set limits for evening consumption.

• Wake yourself at night. Setting an alarm for the middle of the night can help you prevent bed-wetting. Getting up once or twice a night to urinate means you won’t have as much urine if an accident occurs.

• Make regular urinating a part of your routine. During the day, set a schedule for when you’ll urinate and stick to it. Make sure to urinate before bed, too.

• Cut down on bladder irritants. Caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, and sugary drinks may irritate your bladder and lead to more frequent urination.

The typical conventional treatments include: medications and/or surgery.
