Causes and Treatments of Bedwetting in Adults
4. Diabetes

Diabetes is one condition that may cause adult bedwetting. People with diabetes do not metabolize glucose properly, which may cause larger amounts of urine. This increased amount of urine makes it harder for adults with diabetes to hold it at night, especially if getting out of bed in time is not always easy. For many people who are eventually diagnosed with diabetes, bedwetting is often their first indication. Seek treatment if bedwetting accompanies any other signs of diabetes such as sores that do not heal, weight loss, and fatigue.
3. Sleep Apnea

According to one study, seven percent of adult patients who have sleep apnea also wet the bed at night. Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and then starts again. Some people with sleep apnea will stop breathing hundreds of times in their sleep without knowing it. In rare cases, sleep apnea will develop into a bedwetting habit as the condition progresses or becomes worse. These patients usually find relief by using continuous airway pressure therapy, which is prescribed by a health professional.
