What Causes Bed Wetting In Adults?

Hi, i am a 30 year old man. when i was a kid i wet my bed..almost everyday but reduced when i reached puberty..in high school too had the same problem till i was 19. But i decided to set an alarm evrynyt at 2 am to use the washrooms. It helped..it gave me confidence and i could now sleep all night without worries. But i still bed wet once in a while. I recently had that moment...i dreamnt i was urinating only to wake up and find wet bed. Everytime i dream like that, i wet my bed. Sometimes i pee frequently in a day. I had a case of an infection on my manhood, chlamydia but was treated but my left testicle aches from time to time. Kindly help

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

Nocturnal enuresis or bed wetting is really an embarrassing problem. In most of individuals with advancing age the episodes decrease in severity but your episodes of bed wetting have relapsed and this is causing embarrassment to your life. Alarm Pad method is a behaviour therapy method and this can again help you. You can take help of a psychologist for details.

I'd also advise you to get proper evaluation of bladder functions done. Urodynamic studies can help to find out any organic cause of nocturnal enuresis. If everything comes normal then consult a psychiatrist for treatment.

Medicines of TCA group like Imipramine are drugs of choice for bed wetting. The drug is advised to be taken in night after dinner and helps to reduce the episodes of bed wetting. Some times Amitriptyline, Clomipramine etc can also be used as alternative medicines for similar symptoms. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of the drugs.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
