What medication should adults with enuresis take?

Patient's question:

My best friend had a minor gynecological surgery a while ago. I've been taking care of her recently. I noticed that it seems like it's not just a gynecological issue. Sometimes I found a little dampness on her pad. At first, she was embarrassed to tell me, but later she said it was probably bedwetting. So I want to know what medication adults with bedwetting should take.

Doctor's answer:

Adults suddenly wetting the bed is caused by factors such as excessive fatigue, low immunity, staying up all night, psychological stress, physical weakness, and dreaming. Usually, if bedwetting occurs only once, it is typically not a problem and does not require treatment. However, if adults frequently wet the bed, it may indicate an underlying illness, primarily caused by damage to the central nervous system that controls urination. It is recommended to examine bladder function and spinal nerves. Occasional bedwetting generally does not harm the patient's body but may have some negative psychological effects. As long as good living habits are developed, it is usually unnecessary to wet the bed again, so there is no need to worry too much.
