Bed Wetting: Possible Causes part 2

images

If a child has been able to sleep through without wetting the bed for at least 6 months and then suddenly starts bed wetting,  it is referred to as secondary nocturnal enuresis. The probability of a structural/physical dysfunction of the urinary tract is very unlikely. It is more likely that it could be any of the following:

  • Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). This will have to be confirmed by a urine test – normally done by a Physician. Even a low-grade infection that is hardly detectable can have this effect.
  • Diabetes.
  • Stress or anxiety over issues like bullying, sexual abuse, death of a loved one, divorce, relocating etc.
  • It is believed that in cases of sleep deprivation (sleeping too little) a child can sleep so deep that he doesn’t wake up to go to the loo.
  • Drinking a lot of fluid before bed-time.
  • Caffeine stimulates urine production and can trigger the bladder to go into a spasm.
