      How to Stop Teen Bedwetting

      End the Embarrassment Now

      © Copyright 2013 By L. C. Laughlin

      Introduction

      Hello and welcome! Allow me to express my heartfelt thanks for purchasing this eBook.

      If you’re reading this because you know someone who suffers from teenage bedwetting or you’re a parent of one, I commend you for not being ashamed or embarrassed. If you’re the teenager suffering from enuresis yourself, I applaud you for taking the first step to deal with this condition. Indeed, this is not an easy achievement – success will only come to people who never give up and know that there is hope for treatment.

      Within these pages lie valuable information about teenage bedwetting as well as the ways to overcome the problem. If I cannot help you overcome this issue, then at least allow me to share important tips that will help you live with it on a daily basis.

      Before we delve deeper, let me first clarify some things for you.

      Definition of terms:

      Nocturnal enuresis – Bedwetting that occurs beyond the age of six for girls and seven for boys. This is otherwise termed as nighttime incontinence.

      Self-limiting – This term refers to a condition that is normally outgrown.

      Teen – For the purpose of this eBook, teen refers to kids within the 13 - 18 age range.

      Accidents – This refers to when the teen voids involuntarily after a period of dry days or nights.

      I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a broad understanding when dealing with delicate issues like this. Study the contents of this eBook well and broaden your mind.

      In the following modules, you will learn about teenage bedwetting, how it is diagnosed, and the options for its management.

      Module 1: What Is Teenage Bedwetting?

      You’re too old to still be wetting your bed!

      You should have outgrown bedwetting by now!

      Stop acting like a baby!

      Do these statements sound familiar? Does this sound like you? Or, maybe this sounds like your mother who constantly hassles you when you wake up morning after morning and find yourself wet.

      What you don’t know is that teenage bedwetting is a fairly common condition faced by many teenagers around the world. This means you’re definitely not alone.

      Did you know that about 2% of teenagers – that’s 1 out of every 50 – deal with teenage bedwetting? That’s pretty normal if you ask me, but, because it is embarrassing for most people, they don’t talk about it.

      However, this does not mean I am advocating the normalcy of such a condition. I am here to offer whatever help I can in alleviating the emotional and psychological toll teenage bedwetting brings to you and your family. I will also provide ways – options that you can take – in dealing with the condition day in and day out.

      Below are some truths I have uncovered about teenage bedwetting, and I certainly hope by the end of this module you will have grasped the basics of the condition.

      1.1: Overview

      Teenage bedwetting is one issue that most teenagers find very embarrassing. Often, they will keep it to themselves, which can result in feelings of insecurity and depression. However, there are some things that teenagers suffering from bedwetting must know.

      1.2: Fast Facts

      · At the age of two, children have generally attained bladder control, which means the child can remain dry during the course of the day.

      · By three years old, the child can remain dry overnight, but even potty-trained children can fall short of this expectation.

      · Bedwetting can be considered a developmental delay instead of being viewed as emotional or physical defect.

      · It is also shown to run in a family (genetically related), since parents with teenage bedwetting problems have more than a 40% chance of passing the gene on to their child.

      · Bedwetting can also be considered a neurological delay, and studies have shown that bedwetting can occur in teenagers 0.5% to 2.3% of the time.

      1.3: Types of Bedwetting

      There are two types of bedwetting: primary and secondary nocturnal enuresis.

      Primary Nocturnal Enuresis (PNE)

      This occurs mainly in babies and younger children who have not attained full bladder control. This is diagnosed in children within the age bracket of 4 to 5 who have persistent bedwetting. By the age of 5, around 20% of kids no longer experience bedwetting. Each year cuts
