Causes Of Bedwetting

Nobody knows for sure what causes bedwetting, but many factors can play a role.

A small bladder. Your child's bladder can not be developed enough to hold urine produced at night.

Inability to recognize a full bladder. If the nerves that control the bladder are slow to mature, a full bladder can not wake your child to sleep - especially if your child is a deep sleeper.

Hormonal imbalance. During childhood, some children do not produce enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to slow down urine production at night.

Stress. Stressful events - as a big brother or sister, a new school or sleeping away from home - may trigger bedwetting.

Urinary tract infection. A urinary tract infection, it can be difficult for your child to control urination. Signs and symptoms may include bedwetting, daytime accidents, frequent urination and pain during urination.

Sleep apnea. The problem is a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing is interrupted by the child during sleep - often because of inflamed tonsils or adenoids o. Other signs and symptoms may include snoring, frequent ear and sinus infections, sore throats, and daytime sleepiness.

Diabetes. Children, which is usually dry during the night, bed wetting can be the first sign of diabetes. Other signs and symptoms may include passing large amounts of urine at the same time, a greater loss of thirst, fatigue and weight despite good appetite.

Chronic constipation. Lack of regular bowel movements can lead to reduced bladder capacity, which can cause bedwetting at night.

Anatomical defect. Rarely, nocturnal enuresis associated with congestive child's neurological system or urinary tract.
