Causes and Treatments of Bedwetting in Adults

5. Antidiuretic Hormone

Everyone produces a hormone known as the antidiuretic hormone or ADH, which is responsible for telling the body when to slow down the production of urine at night. This lower volume of urine allows most healthy people to sleep all night or at least a majority of the night without having to get up to use the bathroom. Some people do not make enough of this hormone, which may lead to nocturnal enuresis as their bladders cannot hold high concentrations of urine.
