BEDWETTING

Bedwetting is a common condition, especially in children, where they urinate during sleep at an age when bladder control is typically expected.

Causes:

• Genetics: Family history can play a role.
• Delayed Development: Some children may develop bladder control later than others
• Hormonal Imbalance: A hormone called vasopressin, which reduces urine production at night, might not be produced adequately.
• Emotional Stress: Emotional factors can contribute.
• Small Bladder: In some cases, the bladder's capacity may be smaller than average.

Signs and Symptoms:

• Recurrent bedwetting, typically at night
• Stress or embarrassment in children who wet the bed

Risk Factors:

• Age: Bedwetting is more common in younger children.
• Family History: It's more likely if other family members had it.
• Gender: Boys are more often affected than girls.

Prevention:

• Limit Fluids: Reduce the amount your child drinks before bedtime.
• Regular Toilet Visits: Encourage your child to use the toilet before bedtime.
• Bedwetting Alarms: These can help children become more aware of their need to urinate.
• Reward System: Positive reinforcement for dry nights can motivate children.

MANAGEMENT OF BEDWETTING ACCORDING TO AYUERVED-

In Ayurveda, the management of bedwetting (Mootradosha or Enuresis) typically involves a holistic approach that aims to balance the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and address the underlying causes.

Dosha Balancing: Ayurvedic treatments are often aimed at balancing the Vata dosha, which is associated with urinary system function. This can be done through dietary and lifestyle modifications.

• Dietary Recommendations:
• Include warm, nourishing, and easily digestible foods in the diet.
• Avoid cold, dry, and spicy foods, as they can aggravate Vata.
• Encourage foods like rice, wheat, ghee, and soups.
• Herbal Remedies: Ayurveda offers various herbal remedies to address enuresis:
• Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): This herb is known for its diuretic and rejuvenating properties.
• Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): It can help soothe the urinary system.
• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Known for its adaptogenic properties, it can help reduce stress and anxiety.
• Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Regular oil massages with warm sesame oil can help calm Vata dosha and promote relaxation.
• Balancing Lifestyle: Encourage a regular daily routine with adequate sleep, exercise, and relaxation.
• Yoga and Pranayama: Certain yoga poses and pranayama (breathing exercises) can help reduce stress and anxiety, which may be contributing to bedwetting.
• Bedtime Routine: Establish a calming bedtime routine, which may include drinking a small amount of warm milk with honey, and ensuring the child empties their bladder before sleep.
• Psychological Support: Provide emotional support and understanding to the child to reduce any stress or anxiety related to bedwetting.
