Adult Nocturnal Enuresis Adult Night Urination

dult Nocturnal Enuresis (Adult Bedwetting or Night Urination), literally translated to involuntary voiding of urine at night by adults, is a subject that is not often discussed or brought up voluntarily by patients.
It is, however, a very real medical problem and should be looked into.
Causes
Adult Bedwetting can be caused by a variety of factors.
Family history appears to play a significant role with Adult Bedwetting. Patients with one or both parents who suffer from the problem have a significant chance of developing the problems themselves.
A deficiency in Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) production can also cause adult nocturnal enuresis. ADH is a hormone produced by a portion of the brain called the hypothalamus and acts to decrease the amount of urine produced, A deficiency in ADH will hence result in an increase in urine production and trigger urination.
Diabetes Mellitus can also cause an increase in urine production leading to nocturnal polyuria or urination in the night.
Patients with anatomically small bladders with smaller functional bladder capacities also suffer from bedwetting simply because the functional bladder capacity is smaller.
