Question
A 36-year-old male, serving as a manager of a small company, often drinks due to social events. Recently, he has been experiencing enuresis after drinking. How should this phenomenon be explained?
Answer
Enuresis can be divided into two situations: one is the commonly referred to bedwetting, and the other is the involuntary urination in non-sleeping or conscious states, where urine is discharged in inappropriate places such as clothes. The former is often caused by neurological dysfunction and is usually simple and persistent, with no other accompanying symptoms besides bedwetting. The latter is more often due to organic changes, such as nervous system damage or organ space-occupying lesions, and usually accompanied by other obvious pathological manifestations, which may be improved through other treatment methods. For the case of enuresis after drinking, it is recommended to undergo a detailed examination at a hospital to determine whether there are any of the above pathological conditions.
