I am a 28-year-old
female and often wet my bed at night. Is there anything I can take to correct
this problem? Is DDAVP effective?
I think what
you have is nocturnal enuresis. It is not a rare problem by any means but
because people do not brag about it, the exact incidence is not known. In any
case, you have several options when it comes to medications. You may want to
ask your doctor for DDAVP, which is available as an inhaler. In some people, it
does reduce nighttime urine production. However, it does not work in everyone
and it is also an expensive medication. I would say try it for a week and see
what happens, if it fails to work in 7-14 days, it is unlikely to work at all.
DDAVP seems to work much better in children compared to adults. You should know
that as soon as the medication is stopped, the enuresis will return. Good luck.
