An urologist should be able to help you!.
Also they make pads for incontinence, after my prostate operation I have had to use them just in case!. I know about dreams of urinating, which is your body telling you that you have to pee!. Luckily, I usually wake up in time, but if not I have my pad to take care of it!. L:look in your local drug store in the inconstancy section, they usually are called Male Shields and they for men with problems like us!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here, don't drink ANYTHING after 8PM

Try going to the bathroom right before you go to bed!. Even if you don't think you can go, just go!.

During the day, try to hold in your urine longer than you normally would!. That helps practice to keep it in instead of letting it go once you feel it!.

And maybe you should go see the doctor!. Maybe there is something wrong after all and you can fix it!.

And if you worried, get adult diapers!. Don't feel embarressed!. Just get your parents to get them!. Wear them only at night!. None of your friends need to know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've got a younger 10 year old brother who has the same problem but is gradually getting better!. At night he wears a liquid sensing pad which sets off an alarm when it starts to get wet!. This alarm system is gradually training him to wake up when he gets the urge to go!. The only problem we've had is that sometimes when he goes back to bed he doesn't put the sensor back (next to his penis)!. When I get up at night I check him to make sure he's "wired up"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
