Bed Wetting Alarm, Bedwetting Alarms, Child Solution diaper, Stop teenage

ok, make fun of me, but for those of you who are mature enough, i need help.

why have i started wetting the bed all of a sudden? it happens constantly, like almost every couple of nights. it always happens the same way too, like, do you ever get those dreams where you’re going to the bathroom and you start peeing, and then half way you start to feel it get warm in your legs, and then bam, you’re like oh shit, and then you wake up.

i tried looking up the causes of bed wetting in adults. the thing that caught my attention first was stress. i just graduated from Marine Corps recruit training last friday. it was during boot camp that this problem started happening. it makes sense though, boot camp is a very stressfull environment. but im done with that, so i thought that problem, would be over. until it just happened about 5 minutes ago.

what is wrong with me? other things on the list of causes included problems with the urinary system, sleep disorders, and even diabetes (that one kinda scared me). so if it its stress, how do i keep this from happening? its not like i can just stop being stressed. should i go see a doctor? if so, what kind of doctor deals with this kind of stuff? i dont know what to do. someone help me please.

if you need more detailed information, just ask.
i looked up the symptoms of diabetes and found that some apply to me. frequent urination (i always had to go to the restroom, especially in boot camp), excessive hunger (i have never been this hungry all the time before

im only 19, so i hope its not that, and just stress.

Nocturnal enuresis (NE) or bedwetting is the involuntary voiding of urine during sleep
Nocturnal enuresis is not to be confused with nocturia or waking two or more times per night to void.

Adult Onset secondary enuresis is defined as nocturnal enuresis in which nighttime dryness is achieved at some point in life and, for some, dryness may have occurred for years, but nighttime wetting begins at an older age.

It must be understood that bedwetting is unintentional and is not something that can be voluntarily controlled at any age.

Causes:

Heredity
Nocturnal enuresis can occur due to genetic linkage. Though this is not true with all people, evidence has shown that bedwetting is hereditary.One study has shown that someone with two bedwetting parents has a 77% chance of becoming a bedwetter. When one parent wet the bed as a child, his son or daughter was found to have a 40% chance of becoming a bedwetter. These probabilities carry into adulthood as well.

Inadequate production of ADH hormone
Normally the body produces more ADH (or antidiuretic hormone) at night causing the kidneys to produce less urine.Decreased urine production at night allows people to sleep through the night without having to urinate. However, some people do not produce the appropriate amount of this hormone at night, which leads to high production of urine.

Type 2 Diabetes
This is very similar to a symptom related with Type II Diabetes where an ineffective amount of ADH is produced.

Nocturnal Polyuria
In other cases, the body produces ADH, but the kidneys do not respond and continue to produce the same amount of urine

Smaller Bladder or Functional Bladder Capacity
This does not mean, that the physical size of the bladder is actually smaller in nocturnal enuresis patients than in their peers. Instead, it means that their functional bladder capacity (FBC), the amount of urine the bladder will hold until sending a signal to the brain indicating it is time to urinate, is a smaller volume than that of their peers. The overactive contractions of the detrusor muscle indicate that the muscle is never fully relaxed and therefore the bladder capacity is not as large.

Detrusor muscle overactivity, or instability
Detrusor overactivity is spontaneous detrusor muscle contractions that may cause accidents. Many studies have found a high incidence of high incidence of detrusor instability with nocturnal enuresis.

Bladder irritants, such as alcohol and caffeine, can also contribute to detrusor instability, in addition to serving as diuretics that only increase urine production.

Side effects of some medications ;Obstructive sleep apnea or sleep disorders can cause nocturnal enuresis as well.

Adult onset nocturnal enuresis is often a result of problems with the urethra, such as prostatic or primary vesicle neck obstruction. Such problems can be associated with the prostate in men or pelvic organ prolapse in women.

Additional causes of secondary enuresis may also include diabetes, urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, neurological disorders, anatomical abnormalities, urinary tract calculi, prostate cancer, prostate enlargement, bladder cancer, and obstructive sleep apnea. In very rare cases, acute anxiety or emotional disorder may cause adult bedwetting

Treatment
Behavioral Therapy
Monitoring Fluid Intake: Limiting intake of fluids in the late afternoon and evening before bedtime causes a decreased amount of urine produced at night
Learn to relax. Avoid Stress. meditate or do Yoga.
Bladder Volume Training: This technique is an effort to increase bladder capacity in those who have a small FBC. Kegel Exercises.
For men experiencing symptoms of enlarged prostate, consult a healthcare provider for behavioral therapy options, as bladder volume training can result in distending, or stretching, the bladder.

Bedwetting Alarm System: A bedwetting alarm is a device that awakens an individual from sleep as soon as the accident begins.

Waking: While this option does not treat the problem, it may be helpful in preventing a wet bed. It involves setting an alarm during the night at a random time in order to urinate.

Pharmacological Therapy
Different medicinal options exist to treat nocturnal enuresis. These may be used alone or combined with some of the behavioral treatments listed above, which generally has proven to be more effective.
Examples of meds are Desmopressin;Imipramine:and anticholinergic medications

Surgical Methods
Sacral Nerve Stimulation
Clam Cystoplasty
Detrusor Myectomy

Treatments Undergoing Testing
Botulinum Toxin A
Laser Acupuncture:

Management Options
Mattress Covers
Absorbent Briefs
Skincare Products

Nocturnal Enuresis may be the symptom of an underlying condition. If this is the case, successful treatment of the condition can result in achieving nighttime dryness. Please contact NAFC by going to www.nafc.org or call 1-800-BLADDER.

In addition to contacting NAFC, you should visit a healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and receive proper treatment.

Other video SPED UP MORE. Time lapse at night. I am a bed wetter (why I’m wearing Goodnites obviously lol) and wanted to find out about when I wet. I found out from the video that I wet more than once in a night. I’ll try again soon with the camera at a better angle. It’s hard to get a good spot for the camera and a lot of times I end up moving the covers and blocking the camera.

Before you think this is just for amusement, understand this is for real. I have had this problem all through elementary AND h.s. and have seen specialist doctors. They even put some kind of scope inside and looked around and found no problem. But still it happens like 3-4 times a week. And now that I’m older (18) there’s alot more of it. My folks want me to go away to college but how can i do that? I certainly can’t wear diapers to bed!

my nephew and my great nephew has the same problem. my nephew still had the problem in his 30s but not as ofton and my great nephew has stopped now that he is in his teens. the only way they stopped was by not drinking anything after 10pm or not much anyway. and the problem is they are such deep sleepers. they don’t wake up when that feeling comes on. try maybe to take naps during the day if you can or get someone to wake you up. once you get in to a routine it should all into place good luck and don’t worry more people have this prob. than you realize.

My oldest son out of the three boys i have started wetting the bed. He is 14. We already went to the doctors and he said it will pass in a couple of months. But it has been over three months since he said that and now i am thinking of buying my son diapers. I dont know if he would like it but it is the only way to keep things dry. So should i get him diapers and if so what kind and what brand? Also if i should make him wear diapers how should i ask him to wear them? Please help!

You should NOT "make" him wear diapers, but you should have a frank and open discussion of how you and he are going to manage the problem for as long as it is still going on. Certainly it is reasonable for you to want to keep his mattress (at minimum) from getting wet, and so he should have a plastic mattress cover on his bed, if he doesn’t already. Beyond that, ask him if he would rather wear some sort of "protective underwear" (don’t call it a diaper, it isn’t really the same thing anyway) to sleep to help keep the sheets dry… or if he would rather wash his sheets in the laundry every morning when it happens. If he is willing to do his own laundry (NOT as a punishment, just as a means of allowing him to help manage his own problem), then there is no reason in the world why he should have to wear a diaper. As long as the mattress is protected and he bathes or showers in the morning to get the urine off his skin, there is absolutely no harm done by having him wash the sheets, and it also gives him a measure of privacy in dealing with his own problem.

If he isn’t willing to help with washing the sheets… then I think it would be reasonable to ask him to wear something in order to reduce the amount of laundry that needs to be done. Even then, you should make clear to him that it is NOT a punishment for wetting the bed (which he can’t help, and therefore should not be punished for!) but simply a means of reducing the burden of laundry his problem creates (since he isn’t willing to help do it). Do some homework, then take him to the store (or show him pictures online, if that’s how you prefer to shop) and let him decide what type of protection he is most willing to wear. The more you allow his input and cooperation in the whole process, the less likely this is to become a lasting issue between you… and the less stressful the situation will be for the both of you, which will also be a good thing in helping his body to stop wetting the bed in the long run.

I’m 17 and still wet the bed every night. I don’t drink or eat 3-4 hours before bed. I tried bed wetting alarms. Even if I wake up, I can’t stop myself. I tried setting my alarm 2 times a night to get up and use the bathroom. I’s still wet the bed. A doctor prescribed Desmopresson (sp?). When I told him it didn’t work, he just increased the dosage. I ask my mom to take me to a specialist but she said no since she doesn’t want me to have to do a pelvic exam. After she said this, I feel like there is no hope. She thinks I will outgrow it. It could be my kidneys aren’t developed since I was born a month earlier than estimated. I wear underpants for adults with incontinence but my room smells like pee all the time. I leave the parental discussions about this to my mom. I don’t think my dad knows I wet the bed. He thinks the smell is the kitty litter which I neglect to clean to blame it on the cats. This upsets me so much but it’s better then him knowing. What else can I do? continued….
I procrastinate going to be every night. I’d rather stay awake all night then have to wake up having wet the bed. I hate wetting the bed and I wearing those damn underpants. I feel so ugly in them. I’m thankful they exist but I’m so sick of them. I try to stay in a positive attitude but I can’t stand it anymore. This is causing me to be depressed. I start crying every time I talk about it. Please help me. Is there a doctor out there I could email that could possibly help? Is there any natural supplement or OTC something? Foods? Anything! Please. Thank you in advance very much.
Masseur_at_Play- Thank you for your concern but my mother is a great one. She has taken me to many doctors as a child and a few recently. Doctors are expensive and we were w/o insurance for sometime so there have only been a few recently. The last two have only told me to keep doing all the things I mentioned that don’t work. My mom will get me all the medical help I need except a pelvic exam. Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that.
I forgot to add that both of my parents wet the bed until they were 13-14.

Bed wetting can actually be a psychological issue too, your mom might feel more comfortable letting you talk to one, it may help you with your anxiety which may contribute to the cause. Best of luck
