What is bedwetting? |
|
|
Bedwetting can best be defined as the uncontrollable urinating while sleeping. When bedwetters are up, no problems exist. This in contrast with incontinence patients who wet themselves during both the day and the night. Although it is not well-known, bedwetting occurs also frequently in adulthood. Studies have proven that about 1% of the adults keep bedwetting; more men than women. Some of them wet their bed every night and others now and then. |

Bedwetting is not a disease, it is an awkward problem.
For those who are troubled by bedwetting, the social consequences can be staggering. They feel ashamed and do not dare to be open about it. For fear of wetting the bed at other people's houses, they do not dare to stay over, do not go on school trips or are too afraid to enter into a relationship with someone.
