This medical malady also affects healthy and strong younger men and women and even teenagers who have no other health concerns. Daytime incontinence can be an issue with many people elderly people, adult nocturnal enuresis seems to affect people from all backgrounds and classes. It is not only sickly adults who suffer from uncontrollable bed urination.
Some adults have grown up wetting their beds all their lives, while some adults later begin to suffer from a bed wetting problem after living years with no problems at all. Not all men and women have the same types of nocturnal enuresis problems. There are two primary types of nocturnal enuresis – primary nocturnal enuresis and secondary nocturnal enuresis and the symptoms and treatments vary for each type.
