Question: And wont wake to use the bathroom ( Bladder). He Is very embarassed by this and thinks that something is wrong with him. Have other adults suffered from this also and do you have any tips on how to help. He goes to the toliet every night before bed.

I'm close to that age and have had the same problem on and off all my life. When I was younger I was always told I would "just grow out of it", but I never completely did, which happens to a LOT more people than you would think! It's just such an embarrassing problem that people who have it usually don't say anything to anyone about it... which is why the medical community is only just now starting to realize what a common problem it is for young adults.
If it's happened for his whole life, there's probably nothing "wrong" with him except that he probably has a smaller than average bladder, and his heavy sleeping keeps him from waking up in time. Does he have to empty his bladder frequently (more than 6-8 times) during the day? Does he wake up to use the bathroom on most nights when he doesn't have "accidents"? If that's the case, his bladder probably just can't hold the full amount of urine his body produces during the night, and if he doesn't wake up then it will just overflow. Limiting fluids doesn't really help because the body still produces a certain amount of urine during the night no matter what, and not drinking will just cause the urine to be more concentrated, which can irritate the bladder.
Instead, try helping him to wake up during the night. If you wake up to go to the bathroom during the night, wake him up then too and make sure he gets up and goes, whether he feels like he needs to right then or not. (My wife does this for me and it has worked great for us so far!) Or, you could just set an alarm clock for 1-2 hours after bedtime and make sure he gets up and goes then. Most of the body's urine production at night happens in the first few hours of sleep, so if he starts out with an empty bladder after the first 2 hours he should be fine until morning. (You might not want to do this every night because of the interruption to your sleep, but it can still be useful if you're spending the night away from home and you HAVE to be sure he gets up in time!) Also, making sure he gets enough sleep every night is important, as is limiting the stress in his life (as much as possible!), because tiredness and stress can both make heavy sleep patterns more pronounced and make it difficult to wake up to go.
Also, it helps to avoid caffeine and alcohol late at night, as both of these are diuretics (cause increased urine production) and also irritate the bladder, increasing urgency to go. I've found that ANY kind of carbonated soda (with caffeine or not) can also have that effect, but caffeinated ones are definitely much worse.
I hope this helps! As a fellow guy who has trouble with this, THANK YOU for being so understanding with your partner and wanting to help. Please keep supporting him and let him know that he's not alone! A problem like this can be pretty emotionally devastating, especially to the male ego (though he may not admit it!), and the more you support him and affirm his "manhood" in other areas, the better it will be psychologically for him.
Good luck to you both! If you have any other questions or if you (or your partner) want to talk more about anything, you're welcome to e-mail me through my profile.
P.S. -- I'm assuming he's always had this problem, but if it's just a recent thing (esecially if he never had it even as a kid), you might want to get him to go to the doctor to make sure nothing more serious is going on... it's embarrassing for sure, but the doctor has seen it before and will not make a big deal out of it!! Good luck!
i dont see anything wrong with this...if he dont use it in the house...maybe he will use it somewhere else...when u gotta go u gotta go lol...
First of all he should go see a doctor who specializes in this problem. It has to be taken care of if he is to lead a norrnal life like going to visit friends and relatives overnight, that sort of thing.
slap a Depends on him just before bedtime to be safe.
maybe you should set a clock to get him up every two hours.
We have a new product out........its calls.......Opps I crapped my Pants...........they are like depends.......only they can hold a bigger load............try them..............you can find them every where..............?
im well im not even 14 yet and i dont specilize in anything but maybe he should get himself a pair of goodnights or something well its was good for my little bro he's 7 now and when he was little he used something like that and all but maybe he should get a grown up pair of safety pads if its gets worse he should see a doctor.??
they have medication for that
the age doesn't matter. he does have a bladder or urinary problem. send him to a urologist soon. there are medications for this sort of issue.
Hang those pee-pee sheets off the fence in the front yard.
He should stop soon.
this is nocturnal enuresis(posh word for bed wetting), He should speak to a Doctor as there are a few possible causes for this, one being diabetes, not meaning to worry you but it is better to get it checked out. you can buy alarmed sheets which wake you up if it happens to help him learn to recognize when he needs the loo at night and protective sheets, look up enuresis, it is fairly common. hope this helps.
There are a heap of potential causes, as well as a number of potential remedies. He should see the doctor about it if he hasn't already, because there are certain physical problems that could trigger this. At minimum rule those problems out. The doctor might not check for certain problems unless your partner reports this symptom, which might enable the doctor to look in a certain direction that they might otherwise not.
The estimate is that somewhere between 1-2% of adults have "persistent" issues with the same thing. Apparently it is more common in guys. It isn't uncommon, but it is also rumored that a lot of people don't see the doctor at all.
Obviously, don't drink too much before bed, and see if there's a discernable pattern with eating, drinking, working out, being extremely tired, etc. That might identify something that triggers it.
ewwwwwwwwwww tell ur old man to ***,n set a timer or somin a and to stop pissing all over the danm bed
