Common Questions and Answers about Desmopressin for enuresis

My father had a brain tumor removed and now has to take a nasal spray called Desmopressin. His endocranologist only wants him to use it one time a day, but the problem is he goes to the bathroom sometimes every 15 minutes!!!! He is also on 1/2 mg of Dexamethasone and that's part of the problem. Sometimes he takes two puffs a day but the doctor doesn't want him to do that daily.
She would tell you if something is happening in her life (besides the stress over this topic) that could be causing her emotional distress, wouldn't she? Bullying, abuse, anxiety over someone leaving, etc.?
Is she able to hold it appropriately and use the loo properly in the day? How long was she in night diapers (maybe she simply got used to the association of sleep and peeing)?
t mention in your question what medication you were taking. Commonly central DI is treated with desmopressin. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water passed in the urine.
I don't know why you would suddenly notice a decrease in your symptoms after 34 years. I would recommend making an appointment with your regular doctor to see what might be causing this. Until you can be seen, it is important that you remain aware of your fluid intake and output.
Hello,
I am 20 years old female and I wet my bed (urinate) at night sometimes. Can you suggest any logical explanation for this problem? I do not have any other health problems.

today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well.
Any new ideas or anyone with same prob please help.
Hi,
By age 11, most boys have become fully continent. Enuresis, or occasional incontinence like in your son may persist longer in a few kids. Most outgrow this.
But if it bothers you, pl seek an appointment of a urologist, as wait-and-watch advise will just not help ease yor anxiety.
All the best.
Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating.

By 'case study' do you mean a hypothetical scenario on paper, or are you being sent to work with a real family? I am sure if he is being bullied, and is soiling himself, then his aches and pains are very real and need to be dealt with. I am sure you mean that when he was five years old, his Mother died, and not as you said 'His Mother died at the age of five.' Enuresis, or 'Bed wetting' is not that unusual or uncommon in young boys.
Please don't put your son in the position of having to answer to this. He is not responsible for the decisions his father makes. It would be better for your son if his father stopped this sleeping arrangement and stopped indulging him the way he does. However, your son will survive this. Try to focus your attention on your household and on being the best parent you can be when your son is with you.
this is a big step for me and very embarrassing i have been bed wetting all my life im 22 years old now i have a 2 year old son and live with my partner, he has to wake me up at night to let me no ive wet because i dont even realise, this can happen maybe 7 days a week ive tried tablets but nothing works for me the doctors are at a loose end no one knows what to do with me and this is ruining my life !!! please help ?
This is very unusual behavior for a child her age, not so much for the nocturnal enuresis (about 5%-7% of children are still wet at night at that age), but because of the daytime enuresis. I would not automatically think of this as a psychological issue, though it could be. Has she been evaluated by a pediatric urologist?
DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.
s also suffering with nocturnal enuresis which every night compared to perhaps once a week a couple of years ago. We are trying to get an appointment with a neurologis again but the appointments are not available until 2 to 3 months from now. Has anyone experienced anything similar, any advice?
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.
You mention he is acting aggressively 'for no real reason'. People never act for no reason. Human behavior is driven by some purpose. Now, it may not be obvious to you what the purpose of his behavior is, but it is driven by some motivation. It is likely that he acts in an aggressive fashion when something he wants is obstructed in some way. Regardless, you should arrange for an evaluation.
He has recently started hiding under the dining room table crossing his legs instead of going to the bathroom. For the most part he makes it to the bathroom in time with the occasional damp undie. Just a few drops though, no REAL accidents.
He also rarely has a bowel movement without needing a change of underpants. It ranges from skid marks due to a lack of proper wiping to a full fledged load in his pants.
