Enuresis and Sickle Cell Disease
source: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
year: N/A
summary/abstract:Enuresis is defined as urinating when you do not intend to go. Enuresis is often called bed-wetting when it occurs at night. Enuresis is a common problem for children and teens with sickle cell disease. It happens because they are unable to concentrate their urine well, and they are encouraged to drink a lot of fluids to prevent pain crises. Bed-wetting is a symptom of sickle cell disease; it cannot be helped. Punishment will not correct this condition.

• Urinating more often during the day
• Bed-wetting at night
What problems may result?
• Social anxiety (embarrassed) about wetting the bed
