How do you stop bed wetting?

Answer 1

If the problem persists into the "pre-teen" age it should definitely be discussed with a doctor. There are many medications and therapies that can be taken advantage of. In all cases there is a cause to the problem, and whether it be physical or mental/emotional the root needs to be ocated in order to find the appropriate solution.

Although you may read many home remedies, etc. I strongly urge for you to seek medical attention.

Others may also claim that it would be too hard emotionally to take the person to the doctor, but they'll get over it if the doctor finds the root of the problem (which is actually what usually happens). The physical and emotional problems that could persist or exist as a result of NOT going far outweigh the emotional pain of going to a private doctor's appointment.
The cause of the problem may also be caused by something so completely different than kidney issues, etc. that only a professional should diagnose it.

Answer 2

My brother wet the bed because he was so hyper during the day, he slept right through the night, even would sleep walk.
One of my sisters had a kidney problem and that is why she wet the bed.
My mother said I wet the bed when I was 2 on 4 separate occasions. She said she scolded me the first night and spanked me the next night. I stopped, then a few months later I did it again and she repeated it and I never did it again.

Each child is different. I would recommend stop drinking liquids a couple of hours before bedtime. If you know the time the bed wetting occurs, try wake him/her at that time to go to the bathroom.

Here is a website about bedwetting: http://www.webmd.com/hw/raising_a_family/aa6052-intro.asp

This information will help you decide whether you should wait for your child's bed-wetting to stop on its own or schedule a doctor visit to discuss the problem.

Key points in making your decision
Your decision on whether to schedule a doctor visit to discuss your child's bed-wetting will involve several considerations, including your child's age, how long he or she has been wetting the bed, and whether you suspect an infection or another problem is causing the wetting. Consider the following when making your decision:

Your child will probably stop wetting the bed on his or her own. Gaining bladder control is a normal developmental process that takes longer in some children. Most of the time your health professional can tell without any tests whether your child's wetting may be due to a medical problem.

If your child has symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, or pain during urination, the wetting may be due to a urinary tract infection. If so, you should schedule a doctor visit.
If your child has been dry for 3 months or longer and has begun to wet the bed again, the child may have a bladder infection. Stress can also cause a child who has had bladder control to begin wetting again. You may want to schedule a doctor visit.

A physical exam for bed-wetting may be stressful or anxiety-provoking for your child. Furthermore, if the exam doesn't reveal a problem (which is most likely the case), your child may feel ashamed or guilty. Consider the effects of taking your child to a health professional as you make your decision—your child may feel that there is something wrong with him or her or feel responsible for the bed-wetting.
When is it normal for a child to gain bladder control?
Children gain bladder control at different ages. Although most children are able to control their bladders by age 5 or 6, some children take longer. A few may still wet occasionally until age 10 or 12. If a child is otherwise healthy, has never been dry, but seems to have more dry nights as he or she gets older, the bed-wetting most likely does not have a medical cause.

Answer 3

Ah, i might be anble to help you with this one. I wet the bed until i was about 13-14 and was alwasy troubled because i couldn't sllep over at friedns, etc...always had to lie and say my Mom won't let me. Anyways, I read in the Dear Abby column that it is sometimes caused by too small of a bladder, and that you can stretch your bladder by holding it when you have to pee. When you get the urge to go, wait a while until you REALLY have to go. I did this and really quickly stopped wetting the bed :-) This is a much more common problem than you might think....LOTS of kids do it, and it is something you outgrow. sometimes it has to do with sleeping too deeply also, and another tip is not to drink much for a few hours before bedtime. Good luck, and I hope this helps. Don't think you are weird becaue of this, and you could tell your dr. about it the next time you asre there, or ask you parent to tell them. It's nothing to be embarressed about with a doctor!!

Answer 4

what exactly do you mean by bed wetting. If you mean how to stop peeing on your bed, dont drink any fluids within an hour b4 that you go to sleep. Use the bathroom before you get into bed aswell. But if you mean how to stop ******* in your sleep, I dont think that you can control that. Just sleep with tissue or something to absorb it.

Answer 6

Take this person to the doctor and find out whats wrong.
Make sure it's not a psychological issue.
My doctor prescribed a nasal spray that worked like gangbusters!
One week and it was over. My son was a preemie, and his bladder wasn't growing as fast as the rest of his body.
He was very young when we did this. It worked!

Answer 7

I wouldn't waste your money on the doctor. If not drinking anything before you go to bed doesn't work then wake them up two times a night and then work it down to one time. And eventually they'll do it on there own.
