Natural Cures for Bedwetting
Bedwetting (bed wetting or in doctorspeak Nocturnal Enuresis) is a problem that affects about one in eight people in childhood. It becomes less common as people grow into adulthood but still troubles one in a hundred at age fifteen. It is acutely embarrassing both for children and parents and can inhibit a great deal of social activity. As it could be caused by potentially serious medical problems it needs to be properly checked out by a doctor and appropriate treatment undertaken.
When properly diagnosed, there are a number of drug treatments to either contract weak bladders or relax tense ones. They all have side effects. In intractable problems indwelling catheters may be used to get round the problem. They are not a cure.
Bedwetting Treatments
Modern Western Medicine
Drugs used include nasal sprays of hormones such as Desmopressin, drugs to relax the bladder such as Oxybutinin and as a last resort and rather outdated, tricyclic antidepressants such as Imipramine and Amitriptyline. The last group of drugs are not specific for the bladder and can affect vision and blood pressure. they may also cause sleepiness.
