teen bed wetting, please help?

im a 13 year old boy and i have been wetting my bed for as long as i can remember, ive tried not drinking and eating two hours before i fall asleep, ive stopped drinking pop, limited my citrus, tried using my alarm clock for waking up in the middle of the night, i go right before i fall asleep too, im not sure what to do, my parents arent sure either, i heard that some kids just grow out of it but i dont know can anyone help?
ill ask a doctor about it, but both my parent wet the bed untill they were about 10 and we have minor bladder issues that run in the family, thank you for the awnsers :)

You’ve already given me an important clue as to why you have this problem, pal. Clearly, in your case, it is hereditary- you have this disorder because both your parents had it and passed the genes which cause it on to you when you were conceived. However, with that said, there are some things you need to look into and be medically evaluated for, as there are several conditions which can make enuresis ( the medical name for bedwetting) worse. One of the first things I would look at is the possibility that you could have a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea. Have you ever had a sleep study done to check this out? If not, now’s the time. Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing for periods of up to a minute while asleep-and then suddenly will gasp for breath and jerk themselves awake. In severe cases, this will happen many times a night, and will prevent the person from getting enough rest, which in turn can trigger health problems by itself. Untreated sleep apnea can be life threatening- because there have been cases where people who suffered from it didn’t start breathing again on their own. The reason the condition is associated with enuresis in adults is because when the person who suffers from it is not breathing, control of all the muscles and nerves is lost- and this includes those which control the bladder.

The only way to find out if you have this problem is to have a sleep study done at a reputable lab- ask your doctor for a referral to one. Should this turn out to be true, the good news is that apnea is treatable. You can wear a face mask to keep your airway open at night, and it may be necessary for you to have surgery to remove your adenoids and tonsils, as well as to remove the obstruction in your throat which causes you to stop breathing. If you are overweight, you will be told to diet and lose weight- because obesity is a risk factor for sleep apnea- one of many, in fact.

Other medical conditions which need to be looked at are diabetes ( one of the major symptoms of that disease is frequent urination and excessive thirst, both of which can be contributors to your problem) seizure disorders, and thyroid problems. A general exam to rule out infections of the kidneys and bladder is in order as well- and make sure your doctor pays attention to symptoms like low back pain, burning when you urinate, and the like. You did mention in your question that bladder issues run in your family, so I wonder if you could have something like cystitis or an overactive bladder. Both of these conditions are treatable and respond well to medication- but if that doesn’t work, surgery may also be an option.

I would get your parents to take you to see your pediatrician, and tell him or her what’s going on. Read up on some of the conditions I mentioned before you go in for your appointment, so you can ask about them and about treatment and diagnostic options. Part of getting good health care is being an informed, educated consumer, and there are plenty of resources available to both you and your parents. I would look at all the possible medical causes of your disorder first, and rule them out- and if you are given a clean medical bill of health, then it’s time to look at other things. One of the biggest contributors to enuresis is emotional stress- for some reason, it seems to turn the genes which cause the problem on and off like a lightswitch. Researchers who are studying this problem are not sure why this is the case or what the connection is between emotional distress and enuresis- they have only determined that emotional distress does tend to make the problem worse. Because of this, you may decide you want to talk with a counselor or therapist who can help you deal with your feelings and resolve any issues which may be bothering you. This would be the time to talk about problems with school, grades, pressure from your friends to try things like cigarettes, alcohol, or sex, or problems you may be having with your parents. Have you lost someone you loved recently, like a pet or a relative ( such as a grandparent or a favorite aunt or uncle, for example) or have they moved away? Is your parents’ marriage in good shape, meaning do they get along with one another, or are they always fighting about something? Is somebody in your family sick with a serious illness, such as cancer? All these are examples of things which you may want to explore and find answers to with the help of a professional. Doing this may prove to be very helpful in reducing your stress level, which in turn will help to reduce the incidence of the bedwetting.

Take heart- you are not alone in suffering from enuresis. It’s estimated that about 50 to 60 MILLION American adults suffer from this problem ( about 3 to 5 percent of the population, according to reports from the CDC in Atlanta) and roughly 10 to 15 MILLION KIDS under 18 also have it or will have experienced at least one episode of it prior to reaching their

You need to consult a doctor to make sure there are no medical issues with you. I know it can be embarrassing but there are a ton of people out there that wet the bed. See medical help first and if nothing wrong, you may want to think about wearing protection to bed. There are different types of adult diapers on the market that can help keep everything dry.

how to stop bed-wetting in teens?


First things first… Don’t let the teem hate themself for a problem that is truly beyond their control! Second thing, they are not alone. Many people have enuresis (wet the bed) past childhood.

Between 1% to 5% of teens also wet the bed. Now think about that and consider that as a rough estimate, in a school on one-thousand teens, between ten and fifty still suffer from enuresis.

It is an embarrassing problem, something difficult to manage, is generally a turn-off for dating, limits ability to travel or sleep over friends houses, etc; but it is not impossible to overcome.

There are options beyond diapers for the rest of their life… If they and their parents haven’t already, the teen needs to see a good doctor who specializes in enuresis. That doctor may order a host of tests, and it may take many appointments with many other doctors for additional tests. The goal is to check all of the possible mechanical problems, and if anything is found, to correct them there.

The doctor may also try certain medications which have been proved effective for enuresis. Any medications have risks, of course; but this is worthwhile to discuss with the doctor too.

Now, don’t let this stop their life. It can be managed and life be normal. I will say it again, they are not alone. About one-percent of kids grow up and keep wetting through adulthood, though I doubt you will. Even still, good habits and management now will be good for life.

Cheers!

teen bed wetting?

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

Your body might be tired from fighting the flu so this may be a reason. However you should talk to your doctor to make sure your kidney’s are not being affected due to your illness. Please don’t be afraid or embarrass that is what your doctor is for and beside your must assist him by giving him information even if you may think that its silly because it may be utmost important..
