Depressed with bed wetting

Posted , 4 users are following.

I’m so fed up with bed wetting, been going on a couple of years now. I’ve been given catheters to help me especially for night time when i have no control over it. I only get 100 ml from catheter. But wake about 1 hour late completely soaked. So stressed I’m 46 and it’s no life my life’s on hold. Can’t stay away for the night no holidays. Good job I’m single.

    As a child and in my early teens  I too used to wet the bed and I couldn't go to stay with my friend either But with medication  and you have to go to bed with good thoughts in your brain no stress Think of something nice like going to the seaside or a box of chocolates  , And don't drink after 7 pm  And you should grow out of it  I am 73 now and I can hold my urine for 4 to 5 hrs

    If it's really bothering you, you can look into neurostim, it supposedly helps people with urinary incontinence and overactive bladders. Only drawback is that it's a surgical procedure, however many people have had improvement in their quality of life.

    Have you tried any medications for over active bladder? What about testing, like ultrasound or urinalysis/urine culture? Do you have amy other sypmtoms? I hope you find a solution soon.
