One treatment is medication prescribed by a doctor to help treat bed wetting issues in both adults and children. Your doctor can prescribe a variety of different drugs to help treat this condition. Some of the medications, such as DDAVP, reduce the amount of urine produced at night.
Antidepressants can also be prescribed and are an effective way at preventing bed wetting. When other medications, like those taken for sleep problems, are the cause of bed wetting, that is usually when antidepressants are prescribed. These medications won't help with any psychological or medical problems, though, only the symptoms of bed wetting. Like any other medications, drugs prescribed for bed wetting may have side effects that you'll need to be aware of.
When treating bed wetting, there are a few simple rules that can help to control this problem. These rules will help reduce incidents of bed wetting but won't necessarily prevent all of them especially if you have a medical issue that is causing it.
Going to the bathroom right before bed whether you feel like you need to or not, can help. Not drinking anything right before bed and avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages will help. Make these things a habit and they can help control the problem in adults and solve it completely in children.
Sleeping too deeply is the cause of bed wetting in some cases. If you take a sleep aid which causes you to sleep very deeply, you should consider either changing medications or decreasing the amount you take. Discuss other sleep aid options to help you if you feel you can't sleep without the medication. There are also other alternatives you could try besides the medications which can have undesirable side effects. You can often beat insomnia naturally with various herbs, and by doing relaxations exercises. If your sleep medicine is causing bed wetting, you have a strong incentive to look for another way to sleep better. Except in young children, bed wetting needs to be checked out by a medical professional. Many times the cause is not obvious, however, so finding the right treatment can be difficult. It may take persistence and trying several treatment options, such as the ones above, before you find the one that works.
