Question 1

how big of a factor is stress in causing older children to wet the bed once in a while?

Accepted Answer

Depends: What form of stress are you discussing? I define "stress" as everythng that happens to us 24/7. E.G. Sweat when hot, shiver when cold etc. This is governed by the automatic control mechanisms in the brain. Enuresis is evidence of slow maturationj in this system and usually exposes dietary failure, but not necessarily.

Maybe: If you have not had this evaluated it would be good to seek out a consultation with your doc.After treatable causes have been excluded, you need to do what works for you.At least 1% of adults bed wet in the US for no apparent reason.Other cultures/populations vary. There are measures that reduce urine formation at night and some treatments that may help. Talk with your doc.

Question 5

my child still wets the bed at 12. why?

Accepted Answer

Primary enuresis: It is believed that enuretic children  have   delayed cortical maturation for voiding control,  are deep sleepers,  and often have positive family history.  Seek a medical attention.  Oral DDAVP (desmopressin) and  bedwetting alarm are options available.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: If bedwetting is a new event, proper evaluation is warranted.  Diabetes mellitus and kidney failure are on the list.

Question 8

what can cause a 17 year old to wet the bed?

Accepted Answer

Enuresis alarm: Enuresis can persist into young adulthood and is usually familial.  It can be quite frustrating for affected people.  First line prevention is avoiding liquids after 6 pm and voiding before bed.  Enuresis alarms are devices that attach to the waistband and vibrate when the bladder contracts, and DDAVP is a medication (oral or nasal spray) which are other treatment options.  I hope this helps!

Question 9

what could cause a 21 year old to wet the bed?

Accepted Answer

Ooh : That's a good question. Was the 20 yo always a bed wetter? Is this a new phenomenon? Are there other symptoms, such as drinking a lot, eating a lot, urinating a lot during the day? Weight loss? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you need to see your doctor.
