The incoördinations of the nervous system in which there may be
nocturnal enuresis are those commonly found in extremely neurotic
children, and children who are under-nourished and anemic. Chorea,
neurasthenia and hysteria are examples of conditions in which
nocturnal enuresis is very common. Nervous children are easily
disturbed during sleep and are prone to dream, at such times the
innate interpretation of the vibrations produced by the urine in
the bladder reaches the educated mind and there is not sufficient
reasoning of the conscious mind to enable the child to realize where
he is or to prevent the following of the natural desire to urinate.
The inability of the child to control the bladder during acute
illness must not be mistaken for habitual nocturnal enuresis; for
this will be only temporary, and will disappear when the child
recovers from the acute attack.
Highly Acid Urine
In some cases, the urine being highly acid, produces vibrations
in the bladder which results in Innate Intelligence causing the
sphincter muscle to relax, which results in the voiding of the urine.
This is an adaptative action on the part of Innate to prevent the
acidity of the urine from setting up an irritation in the bladder.
If the urine remained in the bladder it would damage the tissues
and call for an expenditure of energy for reparation; this is
all prevented by getting the urine out of the bladder as soon as
possible. The hyperacidity of the urine is the result of the lack
of the expression of mental impulses in the body and should receive
immediate attention, that the cause of the incoördination may be
removed. When this is accomplished the nocturnal enuresis will cease.
Excessive Quantity of Urine
In some incoördinations there is abnormal thirst which results in
the child drinking more water than is required for the normal bodily
processes. The natural channel through which this excessive amount of
water is excreted is through the kidneys. This results in the bladder
being filled often, which necessitates the frequent passing of urine.
The child might be able to control the bladder during waking hours
and make his wants known; but in sleep, as the bladder becomes full,
Innate would relax the sphincter muscle, which would allow the urine
to escape in order to relieve the pressure. To overcome the nocturnal
enuresis in a case of this kind, it is necessary to adjust for the
cause of the excessive thirst; and when this is corrected, the bed
wetting will cease.
