Bedwetting in adults is usually not related to impaired renal function. Bedwetting in adults is mostly considered to be related to urinary tract infections, overactive bladder syndrome, neurological abnormalities (spinal cord nerve damage), pelvic floor muscle relaxation, etc., in addition to physiological conditions (e.g., excessive water intake at night).
Abnormal renal function is often manifested as increased nocturia, foamy urine, hematuria, nausea, vomiting, edema, breath-holding, etc. Among them, increased nocturia usually means 1-2 times per night. It is waking up at night, feeling the urge to urinate while awake, and consciously going to urinate. It is different from bedwetting.
However, urinary tract infections are often characterized by frequent and urgent urination, when bedwetting may occur due to a more active bladder.
Other factors such as overactive bladder syndrome, neurological abnormalities (spinal nerve damage), and pelvic floor muscle relaxation can also lead to bedwetting.
In addition, physiological conditions such as drinking too much water at night, or due to factors such as being more tired and stressed in general, and sleeping deeper and more deeply at night, may also lead to sudden bedwetting.
Adults with bedwetting, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in a timely manner to improve the urine routine, renal function and renal ultrasound and other related examinations, to determine the cause of the disease, and comply with the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
