🦓 What Does Wetting The Bed Mean
What Does Bedwetting Mean Psychologically? Many parents wonder about the psychological causes of bedwetting. Stress and anxiety in and of themselves will not cause a child who never wet the bed to start nighttime wetting. However, stress can contribute indirectly to nighttime wetting. Bedwetting, or nocturnal enuresis, refers to involuntary urination during sleep. It's common in children, especially those under seven years old. Most children outgrow this condition as they age and gain better control over their bladder. However, sometimes, bedwetting can be a symptom of underlying physical or emotional issues. Bedwetting in adults (medically known as nocturnal enuresis ) may be a sign of an underlying health condition. Bladder control issues at night can be caused by an overactive bladder, urinary tract infection, or sleep apnea. Adult bedwetting should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
