Bedwetting Causes, Why does this happen?
Parents and Doctor’s have tried for ages to determine the bedwetting causes for children. From children to adults wetting the bed is the unspoken enemy that families everywhere face. Usual suggestions include:
To combat bedwetting, doctors suggest:
- Shift times for drinking. …
- Schedule bathroom breaks. …
- Be encouraging. …
- Eliminate bladder irritants. …
- Avoid thirst overload. …
- Consider if constipation is a factor. …
- Don’t wake children up to urinate. …
- Don’t resort to punishment.
However, these suggestions only address the symptoms and not the root cause of bedwetting.
Sadly when methods above don’t work parents often feel forced to try traditional methods for stopping bedwetting including bed wetting alarms, pills, and homeopathic drops. Some parents even resort to shock treatments to alert the child of their accident.
The feeling of relief to learn it is not something that is a behavioral problem but a physiological side effect changes lives. Finally, we are able to share the true cause behind bedwetting and other symptoms related to Sleep Disordered Breathing.
