Young adult, never totally outgrew bedwetting... bladder problem, sleep problem,!


Question:

Young adult, never totally outgrew bedwetting... bladder problem, sleep problem, or something else?

I'm in my mid-late 20s and otherwise healthy (have tested negative for infections, diabetes, kidney problems, prostate problems, etc.) I've had the problem basically my whole life... I did it pretty much every night until I was 12, and it's gone up and down since then; now it's maybe 5 or 6 times a year on average, although it can be worse if I'm under a lot of stress.

Is it possible that my bladder just never completely "outgrew" the problem like the docs always said it would? (When I was a kid I was always told it was too small for my age...) Or is the problem that I sleep too soundly so that I don't wake up when I need to go? Actually I do wake up to go to the bathroom most nights, and it's only on the rare nights when I'm really tired or stressed that I sleep through it and wake up wet.

Yes, I do watch my liquid intake at night and follow all other such common recommemdations... just looking for ideas on what the problem is... anyone have experience or insights on this?


Answers:

I have a cousin who is 19 and has had this problem since he was a child. My son is a teen and also has the same problem. My son is also a very sound sleeper and this could be a reason. I have heard everything from he will grow out of it, his body hasn't caught up, watch your fluids, and cut down on the sugar. I believe that all of these remedies are given because there is not sure way of curing it. Sorry, but all I know is to deal. Anyone who cares about you shouldn't have a problem and should be supportive.
