Ddavp and enuresis
Common Questions and Answers about Ddavp and enuresis
ddavp
she will have 4 packets of oatmeal and a glass of milk in the am. Another possible symptom is nocturnal enuresis. She is on DDAVP at night .05 mg X approx. 4 months. If I remember to wake her up around 2am she may be dry, before the DDAVP she was going through 2 goodnights diapers a night... if I didn't change it midway she and the bed would be completely soaked.
Anyway, her Thyroid was hyperactive, and she is allergic to Milk and Eggs (she did have hives when we were at the Dr).
Mine is partial so it ebbs and flows a bit and I do have to adjust my DDAVP dose sometimes. Without DDAVP my fluid consumption is 4 or more gallons a day. At first, I kept a fluid intake and output diary. Also I weighed myself every morning to see if I was taking to much medication and/or not consuming the right amount of fluids.
And yes, for me the best approach has ended up to take DDAVP just at night so that I can sleep without having to get up every 1/2 hour to drink and pee.
If you are negative and critical, your daughter will take that in and think of herself as defective in some way. Nocturnal enuresis occurs with a small percentage of children her age and it will eventually stop. Try to be patient, understanding and supportive. The condition has nothing to do with her intelligence; she is not wanting this to happen; she cannot control it.
I have a 10 y.o. girl who has primary enuresis and wets her bed nightly, has seen a urologist (no medical conditions), taken meds and used an alarm without success on numerous occasions. We are all frustrated and her self esteem is fragile. She has never had a sleepover. She is a deep sleeper and we know it is a sleep disorder. The programs offered are cost prohibited. Does anyone have some guidance, suggestions? The Malem multi sound and vibratory alarm doesn't wake her.
My daughter has had developmental delays since she was a baby, last year we decided to do and MRI and EEG as her delyas were becoming more predominant at 9 yrs old. Scar tissue was found in different part of her brains. We saw a Neuro Psychologist and was told her intellectual scores are very low. Her learning levels are at K to 1st grade even though she's in 4th grade. She is getting services in school and has been opted out of standard testing.
My daughter is 13 years old and has always & still struggles with bed wetting. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 1.5 years ago. Her endocrinologist does not believe the wetting has to do with her diabetes. If her blood sugars are high before she goes to bed we can almost be 100% sure she will have a wet bed, but most times her sugars are in range and she might still wet. She has also gone through many test on her bladder and all is normal.

Thus, based on what has been mentioned above, a complete physical and neurologic examination have to be done to help rule out an organic cause first. Functional causes of incontinence may be evaluated later on when the organic causes have been excluded.
Are there any issues on your child's development?
The reasons for his accidents are most likely the confusing changes in his life, and he just has not learned to cope yet, and the bullying is only making matters worse, and if it's not stopped now, the 'teasing' could follow him for most or the rest of his life. It might not be such a bad idea for him to move School if the bullying does not calm down. Every boy and girl needs a hassle free start in life.

Nocturnal enuresis has nothing to do with toilet training in the sense that it applies during the day. A certain percentage of children (approx. 5-10% depending on age) remain enuretic at night even when they are trained during the day. You should not be waking her up - there is no point. Over time this will resolve itself, with you really doing nothing. This depends more on development than on anything you do or do not do.
We have a daughter who is 17 years old and has seemed very inmature has extreme trouble completeing school work but when she does complete,the work and turns it in carries a easy "A" she loves to read. Has read all the books in connection to the Twilght Movie.
She has wet the bed almost every night since she came to live with us 4 years agao and her father says she has always been a bedwetter all her life.
Our almost-11 year old daughter continually wets herself day and night and doesn't seem to care about it. She often will continue to sit and play or do her activity as if nothing happens. This has been an issue for us for years. We have tried disciplining her, rewarding her, setting timers, having her wear a nighttime monitor, etc. Her pediatrician says she's physically fine. We know of no other physical issues nor are we aware of any particular psychological traumatic events.
m 17yrs old I had a tumor that was attached to the pituitary gland when I was 12 it was removed partially the rest was removed with chemo and radiation due to being attached to my eyes. when I was 15 it came back I had chemo and radiation and it was gone now I had an MRI done and apperantly my doc sees what can be scar tissue or the tumor again.
Can some one explain what scar tissue is and if it's in any way bad for me or it's long term side effects please and thank you!!!
Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old. According to the Food and Drug Administration, nasal spray formulations of Desmopressin (Noctiva, others) are no longer recommended for treatment of bed-wetting due to the risk of serious side effects.
Again, however, I can't stress enough that your friend should be checked by the GP, as an adult , this can signal other issues that need fairly prompt attention.
I have been having light bleeding since November 8, along with really bad pelvic pain, blood clots, bloating, fatigue, weakness, and feeling like I am getting sick. I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding.
I go through bouts of what seems like diabetes insipidus, but i am having to pee every 20-30 minutes, and my bladder is pretty full---and I'm not drinking fluids. it will last a couple of hours, and then quit. i haven't figured out what is going on---but i do have hypopituitarism.
