Bedwetting / Enuresis
About Bedwetting

Text

Bedwetting or Enuresis is loss of urine during sleep which is a major problem for children. Bedwetting is never done on purpose or due to laziness on the child's part. It is involuntary urination by anyone over the age of five or six years when there are no medical or other causes.Majority of children learn bladder control between the ages of two and four. Bedwetting is a problem found more in boys than in girls.
Bed Wetting

This is mainly due to a maturational delay in the development of bladder musculature and its ability to withstand the pressure of a large urine volume. If bed-wetting is still occurring at age of six or seven, you should consult a doctor.

Many bedwetters are misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Symptoms of a bedwetterâ€™s deep sleep disorder, such as the inability to stay focused or to concentrate, are almost identical to those of ADD/ADHD. For 32 years, the Enuresis Treatment Center has successfully treated thousands of people from around the world by correcting an unhealthy deep sleep pattern. One this pattern is corrected, the bedwetting is permanently resolved, and the ADD/ADHD symptoms often abate. The Enuresis Treatment Center has put together an informative guide to understanding and treating bedwetting. This free bedwetting guide is available to download at www.freebedwettingguide.com

Continue and gradually reduce the dosage on doctors advice. Never discontinue the tablets on your own without doctors advice
