World Bedwetting Day: 17 October 2015!
Incontinence UK would like to make you aware of the very first World Bedwetting Day that is taking place this Saturday 17th October. Run by ERIC, the children’s incontinence charity the aim is to raise awareness of bedwetting as it is a common condition for both children and adults (especially older adults).
It is important to remember that bedwetting does not have a psychological cause, in most cases it is caused by over-production of urine at night, reduced capacity of the bladder or inability to wake up. Bedwetting is nobody’s fault, and sufferers and doctors should be able to discuss the condition without embarrassment or guilt. However, the impact is often underestimated and trivialised, so help is not sought or offered.
By raising awareness of bedwetting as a common condition that can and should be treated, World Bedwetting Day aims to encourage sufferers to discuss bedwetting with their doctors and obtain the help they need. Please visit the www.eric.org.uk for more information on bedwetting and the various ways in which you can get involved in the activities.
