Hi, I'm fairly new here and just looking for people to talk to. I wet the bed most nights so I'm in nappies every night. The problem is unexplained though, I've seen the doctor, done the tests etc and they have found no cause for the problem. All I know is that as a child I wet the bed quite a lot and also had a lot of daytime accidents. About a year ago I started to wet the bed and thoughout the past year I've found myself having a couple of accidents during the day. I now wear nappies if I'm going on a long journey where there might not be any toilets available, just incase.
Does anybody else here have a similar problem to me?
It is very similar for me. I started with some slight daytime dribbling incontinence about a year ago. This would come and go and then about 7 months ago I woke to find I had wet the bed. I hadn't wet the bed for years although as a child and throughout my teens it was a common occurance. Over the last few months my bedwetting has become much more frequent. and I now wear tena maxi pads at night held in place with net fixing pads. I sleep on a kylie and our bed is protected with a waterproof cover. I am very lucky my wife doesn't see it as a problem and understands as like me she was a late bedwetter when younger.
I have seen a urologist and had all the tests done. Prostate bladder retintion flow tests the lot. and apart from a slightly enlarged prostate and the fact I have diabetes nothing concrete has been found as to why I have some daytime incontinence and wet the bed most nights. Talking to the doctor at the urology clinic and the continence nurse who I now see every cuple of months they both say it is far more common than most people realise.
