Treatment of enuresis in Kharkiv

Enuresis, or urinary incontinence, is a neuropathology that occurs in both children and adults. For children and adolescents, nocturnal enuresis is characteristic; in adults, loss of control over urination occurs due to dysfunction of the walls of the bladder, infections or hormonal changes in the body.

Treatment of enuresis involves an individualized approach and requires expert supervision. Treatment of enuresis with folk remedies not only does not provide the desired result, but also contributes to the transition of the disease to an advanced stage of the course. Timely diagnostics and therapy will speed up complete recovery many times over.

The medical center “ON Clinic Kharkiv” employs neurologists with extensive experience in the treatment of urinary incontinence, which provides a stable therapeutic effect and prevents the recurrence of pathology.

Causes and symptoms of enuresis

The causes of enuresis can be neurological (due to various injuries and diseases) and urogenital in nature.

Disorders of the genitourinary system often lead to the appearance of urgent urinary incontinence, urination when coughing, or urinary incontinence with bladder overflow. Also, enuresis occurs due to the presence of tumors and infectious process in the genitourinary tract (prostate adenoma, cystitis, etc.).

Uncontrolled urination can develop as a concomitant pathology in the following cases:

• diabetes mellitus;
• epilepsy;
• stricture of the urethra (narrowing);
• disorder of exchange of steroid hormones or the production of vasopressin;
• multiple sclerosis and other neuropathies.

The aforementioned diseases can cause hypermobility or obstruction of the urethra, insufficiency of the internal sphincter, or hyperactivity of the bladder wall.

How is enuresis treated?

The initial mandatory stage in the treatment of enuresis in adults is to carry out complex diagnostic measures to identify the disease causes. Its nature determines the tactics and composition of therapy.

Drug therapy may include taking of the following:

• hormonal drugs;
• psychostimulants;
• antidepressants.

 A competent combination of medicinal substances and compliance with all the recommendations of a neurologist leads to a rapid elimination of the symptoms of enuresis, prevents the development of complications (depression, decreased sexual function, etc.).

Taking medications is often complemented by a course of special physical exercises for training the bladder sphincter, lifestyle changes and psychocorrection methods.

Treatment of enuresis in children is aimed at reducing the frequency of episodes of the disease, the duration of the remission period. For this, taking into account the factors of pathogenesis, an individual regimen of drug intake, drinking regimen and psychological correction is prescribed. Often, after reaching the age of five, enuresis disappears on its own and does not require drug therapy, since the final formation and maintenance of control by the nervous system of the processes of filling the bladder and the emission of urine occurs.
