15 year old son still bedwetting?
I am a mother of two great children. A son of 15 and a daughter who's 12. Unfortunately my son still wets his bed every single night. We have seen five urologists, two neurologists and even a psychologist to try to get this problem under control. He has tried a few medications such as ddavp and ditropan. These barely worked and had plenty of negative side effects. He has never been allowed to drink past 8 and always uses the toilet before bed. This never helps much either. There was even a 6 month period where I would wake him twice a night to urinate. Even this did not help. I know this severely affects his self esteem and happiness. He has never been on a sleepover or school trip. He tried depends but he is such a heavy wetter he literally wet right through them. To keep his bed protected he has to sleep on a plastic sheet, an absorbent bed pad and have plastic pillow covers. I know he hates us for this but they need to be on. My heart breaks for him, he even cries about this. How can I help him? Also his room stinks of pee to the point I don't even want to go in there, let alone allow him to have friends in there. Please help, all suggestions are appreciated.
15 year old bed wetter?
The fact that you do stay dry for long periods and this is not a regularly occurring thing is a good thing. My brother had the same problem when he was growing up. It's more common in boys than girls, and nothing to be ashamed of, just something you need to start working on. Are you hiding it from your parents? Cause you will need their help. My mom took my brother to the doctor and got referred to some company that had this pad with an alarm. I still remember "Beat the bell...beat the bell....beat the bell". That alarm would go off when he wet the bed and man was it loud, but that boy slept thru it. It took a bit, but finally he did it. That may very well be all you need, and you will wish you had done it years ago!

How can I get my 10-year-old to stop wetting the bed?
“How can I get my 10-year-old to stop wetting the bed?”Paediatric Urologist.Trust me, a 10–15 year old child doesn’t like wetting the bed any more than you do, so there is probably a medical reason for nocturnal enuresis — from a urinary infection to a small bladder to renal failure.I know about an 11 year old boy who has a small 150cc bladder and kidneys that work all through the night to fill that small container to the brim. Coupled with unusually deep sleep he will wet the bed unless he’s woken up at night to empty his bladder.After two years of struggling with diapers, the urologist prescribed Desmopressin, which he takes an hour before bed. After he takes the tablet he is not allowed to drink anymore and has to empty his bladder right before going to bed. In most cases he can sleep through the night without wetting the bed, although that works better at home than when going to camp (school/holiday).So visit a paediatric urologist, have your child checked out and ask if desmopressin ia a possibility for your child’s enuresis.
I am a 15 year old bed wetter?
My parents yelled at me about it maybe until I was eight or nine but now it's like they've given up on me. I've tried pills, arm clocks, you name it. But nothing seems to work. I've heard you grow out of it at one point, but I want to stop the problem now because it's taken over a big part of my life. I don't drink before bed and I go to the bathroom numerous times between dinner and bed, which is hard because I have some symptoms of diabetes and I need to keep hydrating, but I can't. Another thing is that often I'll have sudden urges, like my brain isn't signaled fast enough, like it takes a while for my bladder to know I have to go. I'm not sure if that's part of the problem either. However that affected a big part of my life too because there were points in elementary school where I didn't make it in time because I instantly had to go to the bathroom.
My 7 year old daughter is bedwetting? What can I do?
Both of my kids wet the bed. My son is 11 years and my daughter is 8 years. They both wear pull-ups at night. It is very frustrating, but it is gentic for my kids, (I wet the bed unitl I was 15 years old!!--and for the one who said your daughter would turn out gay--for pete's sake, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard--I'm definately not gay!!) Anyway, medicines are a temporary fix and most kids start wetting again when they stop taking them. You can try waking them up at night, but then everyone is tired the next day. Try making sure she is plenty warm at night and there is an alarm you can get to put on their bed...that's what worked for me and we are getting one for our kids. Have her checked at the doctor to make sure nothing is wrong, and if not, I would recommend trying the alarm. It teaches your body how to recognize the feeling of having to go while they are sleeping. Waking your child up at night does not teach their body to recognize that feeling. Hope this helps you.

I'm 14 but I'm still wetting the bed. Why?
I had that problem, too, for a long time.Possible reasons:Not enough of the hormone that slows down kidneys at night. If you’re getting some, but not enough, a prescription can help.Nervous system not developed.A small bladder.Deep sleeping.Stress.A pediatrician once told me that most bed wetting (nighttime enuresis) is caused by that hormone being delayed. The annoying thing is that there is actually no telling when it will develop. It could be tomorrow, or next year, or when you’re 19. You just don’t know.Kind of ruins camping trips and sleepovers, right?Here are a few tips:Hopefully, you have a good mattress cover and a bed pad over your sheets.If you can stand the concept, you can buy Depends or something and not get soaked. You need the overnight variety.I knew someone (female, age 13) who managed to prevent it (usually) by stopping all liquids at 5:00 pm. You could try it.Try avoiding acidic and caffeinated drinks, especially in the afternoon. These include juice, pop, and sports drinks, among others.You might try getting up at midnight to use the bathroom. As in, setting an alarm.You might consider discussing medical options with your doctor.Keep your chin up :)
Can a 15 year old boy suddenly start wetting the bed again if so what causes it? I have bought?
Just a quick mention.. it is NOT "too many fluids before bed". If YOU drank 5 glasses of water before going to sleep, would you wet YOUR bed? Of course not.. this is an old wives tale. Normally, bedwetting, even at your sons age, happens as a part of normal development. However, most of the time it would be what is called "Primary Enuresis", which means that he has ALWAYS wet the bed, since he was born. What you have described is called "Secondary Enuresis", since he has been dry for a long time and has recently started. Secondary enuresis has a slightly higher relationship to "emotional" difficulties, however even still only a small percentage are caused by anything like that. Also, it is more likely to be caused by something physical (infection, abnormal growing patterns, and many other possibilities). Some of them are serious, so it is important to get him checked out by his Pediatrician. It is also possible that no cause can be found. Sometimes this happens for no apparent reason, and can't really be helped, and will likely go away by itself in time. The important thing is to make sure that you minimise the impact this has on your son, as teenagers already have a lot of stress to deal with. Let him know that you are not upset with him, and that you understand that it isn't his fault. The drynites are great if he doesn't mind wearing them. They allow him to deal with the problem privately, and nobody even has to know if he had an accident. At his age he may not find them absorbant enough, and may need to move to an adult diaper of some sort, but hopefully they will work. Make sure he understands the expectation for hygene, and that he showers after every wet night and disposes of the diaper properly. Likewise, if he refuses to wear protection, put a waterproof sheet on the matress and let him know that he is responsible for washing wet sheets and re-making the bed. This isn't done as a punishment, just as an acceptance of self-responsability. Over all, I wish you both the best of luck, and hang in there!
15 years old and had an isolated bedwetting incident?
It sounds like you've already diagnosed the underlying issues. You drank a ton of liquids before bed (and I believe that coffee is a diuretic), and you've been having nightmares because of your paranoia. You could have easily had a dream where you went pee, and your bursting bladder responded to it. It sounds like an isolated incident and nothing to waste energy worrying about. Just try not to drink so much before bed...especially beverages that will increase you urge to pee. Every now and then, I'll have a dream where I'm peeing and it feels like such a relief. And then I'll wake up and realize that I was on the verge of actually doing it! Fortunately the dam hasn't actually broke since I was a little kid. To decrease your worrying, put some towels under you before you go to sleep. The peace of mind that they'll give you should decrease your worrying and also decrease the likelihood of having an accident.
