Can sexual abuse cause bed wetting for years?
March 2nd, 2010 | 
Author: A 5 year old girl was molested only one time and wet the bed until the age of 10, can that have been caused by the molestation?
Yes.
Psychological issues (e.g., death in the family, sexual abuse, extreme bullying) are established as a cause of secondary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting).
By the way, I’m not sure what to think about your account that she was molested "only one time".
If a person is shot "only one time", there is still injury.
What a sad, heavy topic.
*hugs*

Tonsils also cause bed wetting and then sometimes dreaming you are going to the toilet but in actual fact you are asleep causes bed wetting – Its hard to say!!!! Drinking liquids late at night affect weak bladders too.

well you are the Dr. what do you think ? of course it can – she may have been molested only once as you put it -BUT do you know the traumatic effect it has left on her? how emotionally unstable this has left her ? her devastation? wet the bed then no one wants to get in the bed with you — it’s been her safety net-♦♦
