There is a lot of that which a person, as a rule, gets rid of in childhood. However, it is very bad when similar diseases and disorders begin to haunt adults. Enuresis in adults is not common, but still occurs, and its symptoms can appear in anyone. This is very unpleasant for many reasons. It’s also because a person can suffer emotionally from him: the emergence of new complexes, shyness, and a decrease in self-esteem are all exactly what enuresis in adults can lead to (children, of course, are not immune to this either, although experiencing it easier).
What is it connected with and what are the reasons
The described disorder refers to such a disorder of the human body, the most important symptom of which is completely involuntary urination, which occurs, as a rule, during sleep. Many children suffer from it, but it is not uncommon for adults to become victims (approximately two percent of all living).
Adult nocturnal enuresis is a very complex problem. People through his fault become irritable, nervous, hysterical, and often close in themselves. It can be very, very difficult for them to make family and friends.
Do not confuse bedwetting with frequent nightly urination, since these are completely different problems.
The causes of enuresis can be both psychological and medical. In medical cases, it is usually associated with any infectious diseases of the urinary tract, enlarged prostate, diabetes, bladder cancer or alcoholism.
Psychological reasons include stress, poor nutrition, nightmares, childhood trauma of the psyche, various kinds of emotional problems.
It is also worth noting that enuresis in adults can also occur due to certain genetic abnormalities.
This ailment can be chronic or appear completely unexpectedly. Some suffer from it from childhood: the symptoms either disappear or reappear completely unpredictably, while others discover it in their midst unexpectedly. Of course, those who were not surprised with this trouble even in childhood are most surprised at him. In both cases, urination can occur every night and from time to time (for example, when a person is too tired during the day or drank a large amount of liquid before bedtime).
Enuresis in adults: treatment
In addition to symptoms and other things, some people who suffer from it have another big problem - they are embarrassed by their ailment so much that they can not even bring themselves to see a doctor. In fact, you should not be afraid of a doctor, since you will not be surprised at anything, and you can undergo the treatment that he will prescribe so that no one will know any details. Is it better to wake up every night, realizing that everything repeated again?
Of course, before starting treatment, you need to establish the causes of its appearance, and for this it will be necessary to undergo a special examination. You will have to visit a urologist (gynecologist), as well as a neurologist. It is worth noting that the treatment process can be quite lengthy, and there is no magic remedy that would help to recover immediately.
During treatment, the patient takes the funds that are needed in order to reduce or restore the bladder. It is also mandatory to take all kinds of sedatives, which are able to normalize the functioning of the nervous system.
Some treat enuresis in adults with folk remedies. Such treatment can also be very effective, but it is recommended that it be carried out also under the supervision of a doctor.
