My son aged 12 yrs old is still bed urinating,U got any solution for this problem?

Answer 1

Well bedwetting is a common thing when children are under stress. Stress from home, school, friends, etc. It could also be a medical condition, like a small bladder or over active bladder. Anyway, it's worth a check with the doctor.

Answer 2

I think bed wetting in case of some children takes longer to go. You must be patient and not make your child feel guilty. Ultimately it will stop one day. You know that. Meanwhile you can try a few things. Do not let him drink fluids towards bedtime. Make sure he passes urine before going to bed. You can even try to wake him up in the middle of the night and make him pass urine. I don't think you need medical advice. A little care, love and effort on your part may be helpful. Last but not the least this is not a very unusual thing. Many children have this problem and as they grow it vanishes.

Answer 3

when my son was younger (problem until 7) I called a doctor who was on the radio, and she said that in most cases it is hereditary, and is caused by usually a combination of a sleepy brain and small bladder. The best thing to do is to have him drink lots of water and juice, and have him during the day hold it for just a bit when he first gets the urge, to help stretch the bladder. some cases are severe and need medical treatment, there are special doctors out there. Enuresis bed wetting clinics. In most cases a child just has to out grow it. If it is not causes by some under laying reason. Fear or being lazy. I bet he is a sound sleeper. My daughter also has the problem and now being 10 I feel it is now due to she stays up very late and just gets in a very deep sleep.

Answer 4

There is nothing abnormal with your son & you don't need any solution for this problem. Just have patience & wait for sometime. The problem will settle down on it's own. Every person's body is tuned to perform different tasks at different time (age). The brain controlls these actions. In your son's case the brain is taking a long time to have controll on the bladder & sending wrong signalls to the body(bladder) during his sleep, making him to urinate without his consent.

Answer 5

I was a bedwetter until at least that age or a bit more and when I look back at how my parents perceived it and all the trauma involved, I wouldn't wish it on a child these days. I've read alot about new-age treatments though, and if it was my child I'd go to my family doctor as a starting point. I would definitely not convey any negative feelings to my childl, or lead him to think he's doing this on purpose, or that it's his fault, or that he's not trying hard enough, or to get angry at him when you discover his sheets are wet in the morning. I went through that and it didn't work. I eventually grew out of it, but it was traumatic and memorable.

Answer 6

Research it on the web. It usually has to do with being too deep a sleeper and/or not having a strong response to the nerve that normally tells us we need to empty our bladder. Here are some practical ideas - NO LIQUIDS for the last 3 hours he's awake every night coupled with EMPTY BLADDER right before he goes to bed. This won't solve the problem but it should reduce the frequency of nocturnal accidental urination. With luck he will grow out of it before he reaches adulthood.

Answer 7

It could be a medical problem, not just a childhood issue he hasn't grown out of. Some children can have slow development in the urethra. It doesn't grow as fast as they are. It can be treated with a simple surgery. And don't worry it's really not as bad as you might imagine. I have heard of this with other young boys. You can speak with a DR about it. There are other methods that can be used before going that far. They have small alarms to wake children up when they begin to wet the bed, etc. It's a process of elimination.

Answer 8

My friend has a 10 year old that was doing the same thing so she took him to the doctor. Everyone thought he was just lazy and didn't want to get up at night. Well after a lot of test and time spent at all children's hospital, they found out that he has real bad sleep apnea. They are taking steps now to cure it and his bed wetting has stopped.

So you may want to get him thoroughly checked out because it may be a sign of an underlying problem.

Answer 9

I used to wet the bed when I was around 10. My parents made me go to the bathroom right before bed, and then I would tell myself...I am not going to wet the bed over and over again. For some strange reason it worked. I don't know what makes kids wet the bed but going to the bathroom right before bed, not drinking alot of liquids and just telling myself I was going to stop doing it worked for me.

Answer 10

Go see a urologist to see if there is a bladder or kidney disorder. Bed wetting is a common symptom. Otherwise, just have the kid go before they go to bed, and control the types of fluids they drink near bed time.
