HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR BED WETTING

Nocturnal enuresis  commonly called bedwetting or sleepwetting, is involuntary urination  while asleep  after the age at which bladder  control usually occurs. Nocturnal enuresis is considered primary (PNE) when a child has not yet had a prolonged period of being dry. Secondary nocturnal enuresis (SNE) is when a child or adult begins wetting again after having stayed dry.

Most bedwetting is a developmental delay—not an emotional problem or physical illness. Only a small percentage (5% to 10%) of bedwetting cases are caused by specific medical situations Bedwetting is frequently associated with a family history  of the condition.

 Bedwetting children and adults can suffer emotional stress or psychological injury if they feel shamed by the condition. Treatment guidelines recommend that the physician counsel the parents, warning about psychological damage caused by pressure, shaming, or punishment for a condition children cannot control.

 Bedwetting is the most common childhood complaint. Most girls stay dry by age six and most boys stay dry by age seven. By ten years old, 95% of chdren are dry at night. Studies place adult bedwetting rates at between 0.5% to 2.3%
