bed wetting?

Question

i am 12 years old and i still wet the bed and i also sometimes go in my pants at school. people make fun of me because i wear pull ups and stuff. what should i do?

Answer 1

Bed wetting is a very scary and embarrassing thing, I know. I wet the bed until I was 15 years old. When you go to bed at night, set your alarm to go off every 2 hours. If you don't think you will be able to wake up enough to go to the restroom, get your mother/father/sibling to help you. Don't drink anything 1 -2 hours before bed. Even if your alarm goes off and you don't feel like you have to go, just go to the restroom anyway. I recommend that you put your alarm on the opposite side of the room from you, so that you have to get out of bed to actually turn it off. (this might also help you realize you have to go to the bathroom). At school, you're 12, so maybe 7th grade? go between every class. Drink small amounts of water. If you are still in elementary school, talk with your teacher. Just tell them you have a bladder issue and that you need to use the restroom regularly. They will understand, and if they don't, a note from your parents always changes their minds. Good luck hon, it won't last forever. ;)

i would ask your parents to take you to the doctors, sometimes it is just something that you grow out of that was the case for my brother but sometimes it doesn't go away this is what happened to me and you really need to see a doctor there are tablets that will help but you might need to do special exercises too, as for the people making fun of you try to ignore them believe me i know how hard this is and have you thought of taking a change of clothes with you to school and wearing panty liners in stead of wearing pull ups which at your age is another thing for the kids to pick on you for keep believing you will get through this

Okay, so here goes... if you TRULY have a problem with bedwetting, then I apologize for my last post. You have a tendency to be really rude to people when they post questions. You like to tell people you are better than they are, and quite frankly, it makes it hard to take your questions seriously. Bedwetting is a serious problem for many people in the world, and shouldn't be made fun of, if that is your intention. So, that being said, go speak with your parents about taking you to the doctor. It sounds like you have a weak bladder and maybe there is something that he can do to help you out.

Answer 4

Have you seen a doctor about you problem? Try to limit the liquids that you take in and try going to the bathroom immediatly after consuming liquids. Explain to them that the reason you do it is a medical problem. That it isn't something that you can help. You should also have your parents talk to the school officials and see if there is something they can do for you to access the bathroom at all timesof the day.

Kegel exercises are a series of pelvic muscle exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor.

Kegel exercises were originally developed by Dr. Arnold Kegel in 1948 as a method of controlling incontinence in women following childbirth. These exercises are now recommended for women with urinary stress incontinence, some men who have urinary incontinence after prostate surgery, and people who have fecal (stool) incontinence.

The principle behind Kegel exercises is to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor, thereby improving the urethral and rectal sphincter function. The success of Kegel exercises depends on proper technique and adherence to a regular exercise program.

Some people have difficulty identifying and isolating the muscles of the pelvic floor. Care must be taken to learn to contract the correct muscles. Typically, most people contract the abdominal or thigh muscles, while not even working the pelvic floor muscles. These incorrect contractions may even worsen pelvic floor tone and incontinence.

Several techniques help the incontinent person identify the correct muscles. One approach is to sit on the toilet and start to urinate. Try to stop the flow of urine midstream by contracting your pelvic floor muscles. Repeat this action several times until you become familiar with the feel of contracting the correct group of muscles. Do not contract your abdominal, thigh, or buttocks muscles while performing the exercise.

Another approach to help you identify the correct muscle group is to insert a finger into the vagina (in women), or rectum (in men). Try to tighten the muscles around your finger as if holding back urine. The abdominal and thigh muscles should remain relaxed
PERFORMING PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES:

1. Begin by emptying your bladder.

2. Tighten the pelvic floor muscles and hold for a count of 10.

3. Relax the muscle completely for a count of 10.

4. Perform 10 exercises, three times a day (morning, afternoon, and night).

These exercises can be performed any time and any place. Most people prefer to perform the exercises while lying down or sitting in a chair. After 4 to 6 weeks, most people notice some improvement. It may take as long as 3 months to see a significant change.

A word of caution: some people feel that they can speed up the progress by increasing the number of repetitions and the frequency of exercises. However, this over-exercising may instead cause muscle fatigue and increase leakage of urine.

If you feel any discomfort in your abdomen or back while performing these exercises, you are probably performing them incorrectly. Some people have a tendency to hold their breath or tighten their chest while trying to contract the pelvic floor muscles. Relax and concentrate on contracting just the pelvic floor muscles.

When properly performed, Kegel exercises have been shown to be 50-80% effective in improving urinary continence

Answer 6

Do whatever it takes to care of YOU. Who cares if people make fun of you or what they think. They don't realize what your journey is like,

i suspect you have a issue with your bladder. Definitely see your doctor, there are treatment options out for you to help control your issue.

I have a friend that has a bladder condition but doesn't "wet the bed" or "go in her pants". It's the inflammation of the bladder which is pretty serious because she gets to go "under the knife" to make sure that her bladder is working well and functioning normally.

any bladder issues are serious so I wouldn't put it off if i were you. Get some help.

Good luck :)

Answer 7

It's ok, I used to have the same problem. Just ignore it. The great thing about it that is that it always goes away, it just takes time. My brother struggled with the same problem too, and he had it until he was 15.

Answer 8

Have Mom take you to get medical advice on what they have now for that condition. It maybe temorary or you may need medication. It could be something as doing Kegel exercises to help strenghten those muscles.
