Causes and Treatments of Bedwetting in Adults

2. Diagnosis

It is important to seek medical treatment once bedwetting first occurs as this may be an acute symptom of an underlying disease. Catching diseases early is the best way to ensure they are fully treatable. A medical professional may conduct a physical examination and ask questions about family history to determine the cause of bedwetting. Other tests that may be performed are urine tests, neurological evaluations, and urologic examinations and tests. Be sure to tell a doctor if bedwetting runs in the family as people with a family history are more likely to develop the condition.
