Getting Medical Help for Bedwetting
When bedwetting is caused by a medical issue, treatment goes beyond simple lifestyle changes. Bedwetting is a sign of many illnesses that medications can cure. For instance:
- UTIs can be cured with antibiotics.
- Anticholinergic medications help soothe a ruffled bladder.
- ADH levels are raised by desmopressin acetate to reduce overnight urination.
- Drugs that inhibit dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can lessen prostate gland enlargement.[4]
Controlling chronic illnesses like diabetes and sleep apnea is also crucial. If treated properly, bedwetting caused by underlying medical conditions will probably stop. [5]
