On children nocturnal enuresis

Children’s nocturnal enuresis, commonly known as “bed-wetting” refers in clinical child over the age of 5 and unconscious urination at night can not happen to wake up from sleep. According to statistics, the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis is very high, about 16% of children aged 5 and 7 years old and 10% of children suffer from nocturnal enuresis, and there are about 2-3% of children will continue into adulthood.

Children’s nocturnal enuresis etiology is more complex, with the possible genetic, growth delay, various psychological factors related. Currently the world’s most recognized argument is: the child’s urine produced at night than the child’s bladder capacity, while children can not wake up from sleep. The most important reason can be summed up:

The lack of a chemical called “antidiuretic hormone.” This substance secreted at night more, tell more kidneys produce less urine. Therefore, even if the child is normal bladder capacity, lack of this substance, the bladder can not store these excess urine.

Child’s bladder capacity is not big enough to store his / her urine all night.

Filling of the bladder does not send information to the brain, the children wake up to the toilet, and that will have their own bladder voiding, which took place bedwetting.

Constipation: If it is not, then regular bowel movements, stool will backlog and oppression of the bladder, and urinary bladder is difficult to “hold” to live, to stay in the bladder.

Drink: Occasionally, if the child at bedtime drink too much of a particular beverage, can also cause bedwetting.
