Bedwetting

Most children do not begin to stay dry through the entire night until they reach three or four years of age. However, bedwetting becomes a concern for parents and caregivers when the condition persists on a regular basis after that age.

Bedwetting, or enuresis, occurs after the age when bladder control is normally expected, and it is involuntary urination while sleeping, particularly during the night. Bedwetting is fairly common among children and it is affects more boys than girls. Urinary continence is also observed among adults due to several factors.

Causes and Risk Factors

Several causes and risk factors attribute to bedwetting and the major factors are:

	Inability to control the bladder
	Genetic factors (bedwetting appears to be hereditary)
	Difficulty waking from deep slumber
	Delayed development of the central nervous system because this inhibits the ability to prevent the bladder from emptying during the night
	Urinary tract infections
	Physical abnormalities such as a smaller-than-normal bladder
	Poor daytime toilet habits including holding back urination for a long period of time

	Emotional imbalance because of stress and drastic life changes such as the arrival at a new school and the divorce of parents
	Ailments such as diabetes, chronic constipation and ADHD
	Excessive fluid intake before bedtime because this does not allow the bladder to evacuate completely before falling asleep
	Diuretics, including herbal diuretics (Dandelion, which grows freely in most backyards, is renowned for its diuretic property and even casual contact with this herb can cause a bedwetting problem).
