Why Adult Bedwetting Is More Serious Than You Think

October 12th, 2009 · No Comments

Adults who regularly have bed wetting incidents at night are often suffering from some sort of underlying medical condition which could probably get worse if not treated properly. If you’re a man or a woman suffering from bedwetting issues then you may want to visit your physician sooner rather than later. Adult bedwetting affects between 1-2% of the entire population and it is not a matter to be taken lightly.

Some causes for adult bed wetting are more serious such as some sort of undiagnosed injury or even bladder cancer. There are quite a few different possible reasons and treatments for this condition, ranging from biological to mental conditions. Other reasons for adult nocturnal enuresis are more common than others, including having a urinary tract infection or stress.

One possible cause of random adult bed wetting is complications from diabetes. There are many subtle symptoms of diabetes, but having bed wetting incidents in adulthood is one of them. Diabetes affects the way in which your body wants to take in liquid and that increase in liquid consumption clearly comes with the need to elimate more liquid more.

For men who have urination incidents during sleep, they may want to first rule out prostate problems. The prostate gland in men can sometimes grow larger and begin to push against the bladder. Men are almost twice as likely to have issues with adult nocturnal enuresis as women. Additionally, too much urination can lead to a loss of electrolytes in the body which can trigger night time calf spasms.

Many of the causes for bed wetting in adults are serious and can grow worse as the problems continue untreated. A trip to the family doctor is a good first step in getting your adult nocturnal enuresis issues addressed. These are just some of many different reasons for bed wetting behavior in adults.
