Patient's question:
I am already over twenty this year, but I still often wet the bed in winter. I have not had any urinary tract diseases. I just had a bedwetting problem when I was a child. It got better when I was in my teens, but now it has started again. What should I do? It's just a little bit each time, and I wake up immediately after urinating. The probability is higher when lying flat. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis can lead to abnormalities in patients' mental, psychological, and behavioral aspects, and these abnormalities can then become persistent and refractory causes of enuresis in patients, especially older children and adults. Urological conditions such as phimosis, excessive prepuce, hypospadias, and urethral stricture; gastrointestinal diseases like chronic constipation or diarrhea, anal fissure, and irritable bowel syndrome; pituitary or renal diabetes insipidus; diabetes; allergic reactions to food and other substances; and intestinal parasitic diseases such as pinworm infection can all be causes of enuresis. These factors account for approximately 10% of enuretic cases.
