You are likely to bed wet as an adult if your parents suffered a similar problem which almost drove one university student into committing suicide due to this partially hereditary condition.

Though it affects mostly men, there are adult women who suffer from bedwetting, medically called nocturnal enuresis.

Dr Willis Wanjala says many parents are stressed when young adults in high school and university are unable to control the bladder at night which turns into a nuisance and disturbing habit in which doctors ask questions including; frequency and timing, how much urine comes out and what and how much one drank before sleeping.
