Nocturnal Enuresis

Nocturnal Enuresis means wetting the bed. Many people wet the bed at night, although few people talk about it. Most people think that no one else has this problem. Many people never seek help because they are too embarrassed.

Some people wet the bed regularly all their lives. Others grow out of this during childhood but start again later in life. The right advice and support can help people who have this problem. Bedwetting can often be cured. It is always worth seeking help even if you feel you have already tried everything.

Bedwetting causes many practical problems, such as sorting out wet sheets and bedding. Bedwetting can affect staying away overnight, going on holiday or business trips. Bedwetting can affect sleeping patterns and often causes frustration and exhaustion.

Bedwetting can also affect self esteem which can put a strain on personal relationships.
