Question 1

i was wondering what are some prescription drugs for bed-wetting in male adults?

Accepted Answer

Big question: Adult males do not typically wet the bed...So if that is occurring i would suggest being evaluated to make sure it is not a problem that needs more than a medication...

Question 2

are there any prescription drugs that can be used for bedwetting in a young child (8yo)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A child at least 7yr old, with primary enuresis (meaning he's always been a bed-wetter), can do a trial of DDAVP (desmopressin) tablets, after being seen by a pediatrician to make sure there isn't another medical cause for bed-wetting. Bed-wetting runs in some families, and is a developmental problem that children will outgrow. Ddavp (desmopressin) can reduce or prevent enuresis while parents wait for the child to mature more.

Question 3

what are some prescriptions for bed-wetting in male adults?

Accepted Answer

Noct. enuresis RX: The drug desmopressin acetate (ddavp) boosts levels of a natural hormone (anti-diuretic hormone, or adh) that forces the body to make less urine at night. Although DDAVP has few side effects, the most serious is the potential for seizures. This can happen if  you drink too much fluids when taking the medication. Oxybutinin may also 'relax bladder' with 'small bladder'.

Question 4

can topamax (topiramate) cause bed-wetting?  2nd time taking it and it caused it again.  my neurologist said no. but it only happens on drug as i titrate. not off.

Accepted Answer

Rare: Loss of bladder control is a rare potential side effect of Topamax (topiramate).

Question 5

when is bedwetting abnormal?

Accepted Answer

What parents think: Is abnormal. Depends upon parents own nexperience as chidren. Some parents and doctors think bedwetting once or twice a week in a seven year old is abnormal others don't. Certainly bedwetting 3 or 4 nights a week in a ten year old is abnormal. 15% of 5-year-olds wet their beds regularly, thus i consider that normal, but worth restricting fluids after supper and toileting them late if, if it works.

Question 6

what can cause bedwetting in adults?

Accepted Answer

UTI, small bladder &: Diabetes melitus, reverse circadian rythmn (producing more urine at night than by day. Diabetes insipidus, renal or central where kidneys lose ability to concentrate urine & thus too much urine is produced. Multiple sclerosis, neurogenic bladder dysfunction. All are among causes. Suggest you see a urologist.

Question 7

what can be done for teenage bedwetting?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

is there a gentle way to treat bedwetting?

Accepted Answer

Alatms: Bed wetting will resolve on its own, eventually. You can try a bed wetting alarm. Which, may help it resolve sooner.  They can be purchased on line.  There is also a medication that can help provide dry nights, but will not treat it.

Question 9

what's an effective bedwetting medication?

Accepted Answer

Bed wetting alarm: The safest most effective means of treating mono symptomatic bed wetting is the enuresis alarm.  It has no side effects, requires no monthly copays, and never expires.  It will cure about 85% of pts who awaken.  Ddavp (desmopressin) is the most  commonly prescribed medication for this condition and is relatively safe but can lead to water intoxication and electrolyte abnormalities among other side effects.

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: bedwetting?

Accepted Answer

Nocturnal Enuresis: Children that urinate involuntarily during the nighttime have bedwetting, this is something that 15% of children &gt;5yo can still do. By 10yo 95% of children are dry at night. Less than 1% have an underlying condition.
