What Are the Differences in Symptoms Between Neurogenic Enuresis and Kidney Deficiency Enuresis?

Question

I sometimes wet the bed when I sleep at night, and my sheets are damp in the morning. Are the symptoms of neurogenic enuresis and kidney deficiency enuresis the same?

Answer

The symptoms of neurogenic enuresis and kidney deficiency enuresis are different. Kidney deficiency enuresis is usually chronic, with deep sleep at night, where the urgency signal cannot be transmitted to the brain’s sleeping center, leading to occasional bedwetting. This situation should not be attributed to kidney deficiency but is considered neurogenic enuresis. Bedwetting is related to the kidneys and bladder, but it is not entirely caused by kidney deficiency. Therefore, in treatment, one should not blindly tonify the kidneys but treat according to the symptoms.
