Enuresis: A small percentage of primary bedwetters will have night wetting persist into early adulthood. See a urologist for evaluation. Ddavp (desmopressin) may be prescribed for you, but you should be evaluated first.

See wetting expert: Stop drinking after supper, void before bed. Has an enuresis alarm been tried? If not try a"wet-stop" alarm. Dr will test urine to rule out UTI etc. Dr may try DDAVP uo to 3x0.2mg tabs nightly to reduce nocturnal urine production &/or long-acting anticholinergic medication like Oxybutynin er, or Detrol (tolterodine) la to increase functional bladder capacity. Specially appropriate if u void frequently by day.
