Treatment of enuresis

Causes and symptoms

The diagnosis of childhood nocturnal enuresis is not made to a child under 5 years of age, since it is normally believed that from this age he should control urination, including in a dream. If after five years do not pay attention to the problem, then it is aggravated and enuresis in adolescents very rarely passes on its own, requiring long-term work and rehabilitation.

The same problem often returns to people after 50 years, and enuresis in adult women is approximately 3 times more common than in men. The problem will not be solved quickly in this case.–An integrated approach is needed to identify the causes and symptoms that will have to be consistently eliminated. Among the causes of the disease in children, the following will be distinguished:

• Mental health.
• Developing scoliosis.
• Heredity.
• Disruption of the hormone vasopressin, which limits urine production at night.
• Cystitis or pyelonephritis.
• Too much sleep.
• Enlarged tonsils as they are located near urination control centers

Enuresis in children 12-13 years old, adolescents and adults is caused by a set of other causes, among which are most often noted such as:

• Pathology of the central and autonomic nervous system.
• Severe injuries.
• Strong neuroses.
• Diseases of the genitourinary tract.
• Allergies.
• Diabetes or diabetes insipidus.
• Chronic stress and other mental problems.
• Degenerative changes in the pelvic muscles.

How the treatment works

Treatment of enuresis in children and adults is based on general principles. They allow you to successfully deal with the problem and get a positive result with a constant effect. First, a comprehensive examination is carried out, which will help to identify the main causes of the disease and stop them. The main focus is on the following methods:

• Optimization of fluid intake mode. The patient is asked to transfer the abundant drink to the first half of the day, and in the second.–Minimize.
• Psychotherapeutic sessions. Allow you to normalize the mental state, which will have a beneficial effect on solving the problem. If it is a child, additional classes are held with parents.
• Hormonal correction. The timely production of vasopressin is stimulated, which allows optimizing the rhythms of sleep and wakefulness.
• Physiotherapy has a general beneficial effect on the body, strengthens the muscles of the bladder and increases their tone.
• Adult patients are recommended a set of special exercises.

If the disease is caused by concomitant diseases, then they are dealt with in parallel. For example, nocturnal enuresis in adult men can be caused by advanced prostatitis, which will require additional drug therapy and a set of special procedures.

Results of the procedure

In the vast majority of cases, the treatment of enuresis in girls and boys is successful, and in some cases it is possible not to resort to drug therapy. Treatment of nocturnal enuresis in men and women will require more time, since in most cases it is necessary to deal with concomitant chronic diseases. The positive results of treatment include:

• Ordering nocturnal urination (if the patient wants to go to the toilet at night, he wakes up and does it).
• Correction of behavior in the section of fluid intake, especially before bedtime.
• Formation of a healthy lifestyle.
• Correction of behavior and full socialization of the child. Often enuresis in boys and girls leads to their rejection in the children's team. Rehabilitation can solve this problem.
• Getting rid of chronic diseases that caused the problem.
• Restoration of normal mental state.
