Bed wetting or incontinence is the inability to hold urine during sleep which leads to urination in bed unconsciously. This disorder is most common among children but is also found in adults and old. This disorder mainly is due to improper functioning of the bladder where it fails to hold urine. Among children it mainly happens when they are nervous or scared and the bladder acts at the incorrect timing with panic leading to bed wetting.
Among old, it happens with age when bladder fails to function properly due to a loss in its elasticity. It might also happen due to medical side effects or heredity. If you want to avoid allopathic medicine to treat this disorder, there are some effective herbal remedies available to cure bed wetting.
