Why do people wet the bed

Bedwetting is relatively common among babies. Some children and even adults will also wet the bed. Bedwetting not only affects physical health, but also makes people feel embarrassed. The cause of bedwetting is usually enuresis. It is recommended to go for a check-up first and treat the symptoms after diagnosis. Many people still don’t understand why people wet the bed. Why do people wet the bed? Let’s take a look at it next, shall we?

1. Why do people wet the bed?

Usually enuresis occurs when the bed is wet. The main causes of primary enuresis may be the following:

① Delayed development of the cerebral cortex: the spinal cord urination center cannot be inhibited, and the detrusor muscle contracts without inhibition after sleep, expelling urine;

② Sleeping too deeply: failing to wake up immediately when the bladder expands after falling asleep;

③ Psychological factors: For example, the child may feel that he or she is not loved or cared for by his or her parents, and may have a strange temper, be shy, lonely, timid, and unsociable.

④Genetic factors: The child’s parents or siblings have a higher incidence of enuresis.

2. Daily care for enuresis

1. Develop a good work and rest system and hygiene habits, avoid overwork, master the time and pattern of bedwetting, and use an alarm clock to wake up the child to urinate 1 to 2 times at night.

2. Sleep 1 to 2 hours during the day, and avoid excessive excitement or strenuous exercise during the day to prevent deep sleep at night.

3. Patiently educate and explain to the child to eliminate mental tension and avoid emotional distress.

4. Avoid drinking water after dinner and empty the bladder before going to bed to reduce the frequency of bedwetting.
