3% college students are bed-wetters
( 2003-11-05 17:02) (China Daily)
Three per cent of college students suffer from enuresis, more commonly known
as bed-wetting, according to an enuresis symposium that closed on Monday,
Shanghai Morning Post reports.
The figure, which is double that of five years ago, was revealed in a
sampling survey issued at the symposium.
The survey, conducted at five universities in the city, found that about 93
per cent of those interviewed did not consider bed-wetting a disease requiring
medical treatment, while 95 per cent said enuresis was nothing to worry about.
Xu Hong, who works at the enuresis treatment centre for a paediatric
hospital, said bed-wetting among college students was mainly the result of heavy
study and job-seeking pressures.
Sufferers should seek treatment as early as possible, according to
doctors.
