Help Bedwetting Teenagers With Emotional Support
Unintentional discharge of urine during the night is call bedwetting. It’s most common among children but there are also quite few teenagers that suffer from in and adults as well.
Adults or bedwetting teenagers that suffer from bedwetting(primary enuresis) are very likely to have a close relative that has had the problem as well, perhaps a parent or a sibling. The exact reasons for bedwetting are still unknown for most parts but it seem to be genetic and run in families.
There are two types of bedwetting. Primary enuresis and secondary. The primary enuresis, also called primary nocturnal urinary incontinence, is when a child has not yet developed a full bladder control. Meaning that the individual has been wetting the bed since he was a baby. Secondary enuresis however is when bedwetting occurs after the individual has gained full bladder control. The secondary type usually develops over months or even years.
If a child is wetting it’s it might not necessarily mean that the child has emotional or psychological problems. Perhaps the child has just not yet developed a full bladder control. In regards of bedwetting teenagers however, there is another story. In those cases you should always investigate a bit the root of the problem.
It is a fact that 2% of 15 year olds we their bed. This is a statistic that bedwetting teenagers should be made aware of as they often feel alone in the world. With younger children the bedwetting is much more common. 7% of 8 year olds wet their bed and a staggering 15% of 5 year olds.
You should not worry that bedwetting could be an indicator of a health problem as it usually isn’t. If day time bedwetting is accompanied with the night accidents then it’s time to worry as this can be an indicator of serious illness if the wetting is more than a dribble. Dysfunctional voiding or wetting disorder is dangerous if untreated and cause kidney failure or even death.
Be aware that bedwetting is sometimes telling you that there is a more serious problem. The bedwetting can be caused by diabetes or urinary tract infections. If you have a bedwetting child or teenager you should visit a pediatrician as soon as possible.
Bedwetting can be caused by emotional triggers. Ask yourself if the family has undergone any major changes such as welcoming a new baby, relocating, divorce or separation. In teenagers, bedwetting can often be induced by over stimulations of the mind due to excessive school work and also by to much academic pressure from parents. If this is the case then the teenagers should be given plenty of rest and freedom from all undue mental activity or nervous excitement.
As bedwetting causes a lot of work for parents, cleaning sheets and pajamas it can also cause some frustration. Be careful not to show this to the child is most likely upset with itself and will be even more for causing all this trouble for the parents.
Bedwetting can often be cured. If you feel that you have tried everything you should still seek more help. Bedwetting is simply something that you have to deal with and eventually it will go away.
