Question: Who gets enuresis?

Question: What causes enuresis?
Answer: Involuntary, or non-intentional, release of urine may result from: A small bladder Persistent urinary tract infections Severe stress Developmental delays that interfere with toilet training Voluntary, or intentional, enuresis may be associated with other mental disorders, including behavior disorders or emotional disorders such as anxiety. Enuresis also appears to run in families, which suggests that a tendency for the disorder may be inherited (passed on from parent to child, particularly on the father's side). In addition, toilet training that was forced or started when the child was too young may be a factor in the development of the disorder, although there is little research to make conclusions about the role of toilet training and the development of enuresis. Physical conditions that could result in incontinence include diabetes, an infection, or a functional or structural defect causing a blockage in the urinary tract. Enuresis also may be associated with certain medicines that can cause confusion or changes in behavior as a side effect.

Children with enuresis are often described as heavy sleepers who fail to awaken at the urinary urge to void or when their bladders are full.
Question: How do you diagnose enuresis?
Answer: Lab tests may also be performed, such as a urinalysis and blood work to measure blood sugar, hormones, and kidney function. If no physical cause is found, the doctor will base a diagnosis of enuresis on the child's symptoms and current behaviors.
Question: Can problems with toilet training lead to bed-wetting?
Answer: In addition, toilet training that was forced or started when the child was too young may be a factor in the development of the disorder, although there is little research to make conclusions about the role of toilet training and the development of enuresis.

Question: Can rheumatoid arthritis cause numbness or tingling?
Answer: If these tiny blood vessels in your hands or feet shut down, your fingers or toes may feel cold or numb. They could even change color when it's cold outside and look white, red, or blue.

If your hands or feet are so numb that they drop or go limp when you try to raise them, see your doctor right away. Numbness and tingling are side effects of biologics, too.
Question: Does rheumatoid arthritis make you more likely to get infections?
Answer: RA medications like biologics and steroids slow down your immune system. While they ease joint pain and swelling, it's harder for you to fight off bugs like the flu.

Question: Can rheumatoid arthritis lead to chest pain?
Answer: RA makes you more likely to get heart disease. Over time, plaque builds up in your arteries. Doctors call this atherosclerosis. This can lead to a heart attack. Chest pain is a common symptom. RA is a possible cause of a painful heart problem called pericarditis. That's when thin layers of tissue around your heart get inflamed. You may feel severe chest pain that's easy to mistake for a heart attack. Even though your chest pain may not be a heart attack, if you have it, call 911 or go to the emergency room right away.
