Although hie wantcd to spend the summer learning to fish and swim, and sleep in a tent for the first tîme, Patrick was afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the entire camp if the other children dis- covercd, his terrible secret. Patrick is one of approximately 200,000 Canadian chldren, be- twcen the ages of five and 19, who are bedwetters. "Bedwetting or nocturnal enuresis can lead to embarrass- ment, fe elings of guilt and low self- esteemn for a child," says -noted Canadian pediatric urolo- gist Dr. Yves Homsy. "Many parents blame themselves or believe that their child has a behavioral problem. It is impor- tant tô realize that in most cases, bedwetinig is neither the fault of thé child nor the parents." will be 11:30 p.m. The net proceeds, from this dance will be used for War 'Charities and Comrnunity Services.

Another theory was that bedwetters slept more soundly than other children and slept right through their% bladý- der's "signal" that it needed té be emptied. But recently,,a teamn of Danish researchers dis- covered that the -majority of bedwetting is caused by the lack of a hormone that regulates urine production during sleep. While studying sleep patterns of children who bedwet, the re- searchers found that bedwetters had a very high urine produc- tion duing the night. "The bed wae?ýtjustwet -itwassoaked," recalîs Dr. Jens Peter Norgaard,. who was part of the, team. At the same time, they had. a nîght- time deficiency of î hormone which controls uriiiàjroduction and regulates its flow from the kidneys to the'bladder. "Every- one starts off lîfe as a bedw*et- ter," Dr. Norgaard explains, "and as we mature, we begin producing more of the hormone, during the night, leading to a decrease in urine production. For an unexplained reason, however, some children are slow, to prodsee the necessary amounts of the-,hormone at night, thereby ,'ýnot decreasing nocturnal urine production, and continue to wet their beds as they grow eider." TREATMENT CHANGES BEDWETTERS LIVES "Once we. understood that chronic bedwetting is caused by the, lack of a night-time risc i the level of the anti-diuretic hor- mone,' we determined that in-~ creasing the hormone level at. night-time would provide an ef- fective means of controlling the problem," says Dr. Norgaard. Kids like Patrick canget this hor mo ne "ýboost" from a new treatment, DDAVP (desmopres- sin) Nasal Spray,, made by Fer- ring Inc. It's a prescription mcd- ication 'taken every day just before- bedtime. "The spray is simple to use, and provides parents with a safe treatment for controlling bedwetting until the child develops the hormone on his owýn," affirms Dr. Homsy. Dr..Homsy emphasizes that parents should not hesitate to seek a physician's help if their child bedwets beyond five or six years of age. "Bedwetting can lbp very traimatic for a child. It can muin their, self worth, which is extremely im- porta»~ for' their overal emotioii , psychological and social development," he says. "The sooner the problem is rec- tified, the sooner the child will be able to sleep over with friends or go to summer camp without constant worry or cm- barrassment."
