One in 50 teenagers still wet the bed
One in 50 teenagers still wet the bed and almost half of 19 year-olds who have the problem are wetting the bed every night, according to research published in the May issue of the urology journal BJUI International.
Professor Chung K Yeung from the Chinese University of Hong Kong teamed up with colleagues from the Prince of Wales Hospital to analyse the results of more than 16,500 questionnaires surveying children aged from five to 19.
He hopes that his findings will reassure parents of children with mild bed wetting problems, but stress the importance of seeking advice in severe cases, which can often be caused by underlying medical problems and continue into adulthood.
512 children - just over three per cent of those surveyed - reported night-time bedwetting and one in five of those also had daytime incontinence. 302 were boys and 210 were girls.
The researchers found that although bed wetting was less common as children got older, the percentage reporting severe problems increased with age.
Children and adolescents who wet the bed at night also showed a similar pattern when it came to daytime incontinence, with a higher percentage of problems reported in older age groups.
When the researchers looked in detail at the 512 children with bed wetting problems they found that:
* Mild bed wetting was much worse among younger children, with 58 per cent of five to ten year-olds and 18 per cent of 11-19 year-olds wetting the bed less than three times a week.
* But older children reported a higher level of severe problems, with 82 per cent of 11-19 year-olds wetting the bed more than three times a week, compared with 42 per cent of five to ten year-olds.
* Just over 16 per cent of five year-olds wet the bed, with boys (21 per cent) having almost twice as many problems as girls (11 per cent).
* By the age of 19, three per cent of boys and two per cent of girls were still wetting the bed.
* Just under a third of 11-19 year-old boys (32 per cent) also experienced daytime incontinence, almost double the 15 per cent recorded in the under ten age group.
* The figures for girls were lower but showed a similar trend, at 25.5 per cent for 11-19 year-olds and 12 per cent for girls under ten.
* Overall, 29 per cent of children aged 11-19 experienced daytime incontinence, compared with 14 cent of under tens.
"Bed wetting showed a general reduction as children got older" says Professor Yeung, who is also President of the International Children's Continence Society. "However, this reduction was much greater in those with mild symptoms who wet the bed three or less times a week, compared to those with severe problems who were wetting the bed every night.
"Just over 14 per cent of five year-olds who wet the bed did so seven nights a week. By the age of 19, severe bed wetting accounted for over 48 per cent of teenagers who were still wetting the bed."
21,000 questionnaires were distributed to 67 schools, with a greater emphasis on children over ten, and just under 79 per cent were returned by parents and children.
The average age of respondents was just under 14 and the largest number of responses were from teenagers aged 16-18. 24 per cent of the questionnaires concerned children under ten.
"Our findings challenge the myth that bedwetting will always get better and disappear as the child gets older" says Professor Yeung.
"In 2004 we published findings of a previous study in BJU International that showed that adults showed no significant decrease in bed wetting problems from the age of 10 to 40.
"These latest findings underline the importance of seeking help for children with severe bed wetting problems, especially if they continue into adolescence. If these individuals are left untreated, the evidence suggests that they will continue to experience ongoing problems when they become adults."

22 Year old Female wishes it would end.

Hi all, I am glad i have stumbled across this website so i can talk to other people who are in the same boat as mine. So I am a 22 year old female who has been wetting the bed forever. I had surgery when I was 6 to stretch my bladder. Also I have been on every medication you could imagine. I found it really hard for me to attend camp, sleep overs without having an accident. I got made fun of in public school and on into high school. Most days it seems like there is never going to be an end to it. at the age of 16 i wanted to commit suicide because i believed that no guy will ever want to date a girl that wets the bed. Still to this day I think about dying. I really hope i can help others like me out there. I really just want to live my life and not have to worry about the sleeping arrangements. Its sucks. I also have a kidney that doesnt work correctly, it blockes pee from going through my kidney and it causes me pain and discomfort. the doctors wont do anything about it unless i start to have infections. My father wet the bed until he was 12 and then it just stopped. I dont know why mine hasnt stopped. I have had many very uncomfortable proceedures that did wore then good so i know what its like. So here are some suggestions that may or maynot help but you can always try and pass other suggestions around.
Try:
No pop or caffinated beverages* if something bothers your bladder and makes you use the bathroom more then you should avoid it to see what happeneds*
no tea or iced tea
only have juice or water
medication for over active bladder before bed.
If things are bothering you write them down
Less bedding and more coolness. If you are more award of being cold then you can try to get up and use the bathroom.
Also:
Don't let parents get to you by yelling at you or punishing you for having an accident. Its not your fault and by then not supporting you will only make things worse.
If you feel uncomfortable wearing something dont. just make sure you empty your bladder right before bed.
Goodnight work well for overnight stays. they can be embarrassing but they give you the feeling that you didnt wet the bed. but i wouldnt get the in the habbit of wearing them cause your body will get used to them.
Okay everybody I hoped this helped. Email me if you would like to talk canadiangirl16_2007@hotmail.com

i am 16 and learned a valuable lesson.last month i lied to my parents about where i was going and went to a party.i got drunk and passed out.i wet my pants at the party then a friend brought me home and i wet the bed twice.my parents were furious.i came home from school one day the next week and my mom told me they had decided on my punishment.later that night they brought 6 pairs of toddler plastic pants into my room.my mom got them at a thrift store.i was forced to put a pair on in front of them and wear them to bed.i now have to wear them every day after school and to bed.i have one more month left.i hate wearing them.they fit me tight and give me rashes.i have to wear them all the time on the weekends.TEENS,DRINKING AND LYING TO YOUR PARENTS ARE NOT WORTH IT.AS I WRITE THIS THE PLASTIC PANTS ARE HURTING ME AND I LEARNED A LESSON!

I was one of the 1 in 50 until I was 15. I was embarrassed about it, which is normal emotion. But you are not alone. Now days there are allot better solutions to cope with it until it is out grown. There is the internet to talk to others about it. There is more people that are knowledgeable about it. You can talk to a doctor and find out what your situation is. There is also better diapers to wear. Unfortunately, and anyone around my age knows, that not that long ago you had to wear the regular baby diapers. I had to wear Pampers. It was just as embarrassing having the big box of Pampers, diaper pail and Butt Balm in my room as it was getting put into a diaper every night. Now they have ones that are almost like underwear. As for what to do when you want or have to spend the night somewhere other then at home, you have to talk to someone about your situation as embarrassing as it might be. Don't try to see if you can go the one night without wetting. It does not work. I went to camp with a boy that tried that and he wet the first night. I noticed what had happened, and being in that situation before myself, I told him I was going to do my laundry and go use the shower room before it got too busy and asked if he was going to come with. Needless to say he did not hesitate. But I told him he needed to tell a consular for the rest of the stay. He did, got diapers, no one else ever knew, and he had allot better rest of the time. Do what you have to do to keep yourself sane about your situation. Take it from me, there is help, and if you are like me it will be over someday and you will be out of diapers.

20 year old female serial bed wetter!!!

Hi, i feel your frustration.
i moved out into a uni flat....it wasnt an issue at 1st but then as i got more comfortable...the bedwetting started up again. i dont get it!
it doesnt really happen when i stay over at mates or my boyfriend...except for this one time and i was absolutely mortified but he was really cool about it. its like when im in a new environment or bed im fine...but as soon as im comfortable, i let go.
Im 20 and still wetting the bed. my parents dont know what to do anymore. the only way i try to help myself is to have one of those old fashion alarm clocks with no snooze button. place it on the other side of the room so when it goes off...you have to get up to switch it off and because your up, you might aswell go relieve yourself.
try that with the usual combination of avoiding late night conversations that make you too tired, staying up too late making you tired also and no liquids after 7.30pm (depends on what time you usually go to bed)
I also ordered on of those incontinence underlay bedsheets to protect my mattress of a website. they're really good. they trap all liquids so it wont soak your mattress. traps the smell as well.
hope that helps

I think you're being a bit hard on yourself! it sounds like you've been through a lot - trying different ways to solve the bedwetting issue...My son is 13 and still occasionally has a wet night and we've never gone to a doctor about it - yet.
I just checked this site out to see what others are saying...sounds like people feel 'limited' by this - and you are giving yourself a pretty serious 'deadline' - if you don't have this thing over and done with by the tim you're 21!! WOW - there is really so much more to life! don't mean to lecture but, seriously, it's not a solution. So you may not work out in the military...there's a million other things you CAN do! think about it!!!

How old is your girlfriend 55? and why would her parents let you stay over if she were still under age. Is it possible that your girlfriend is your sister or is it your wet-dream that you even have a girlfriend??

wear the diaper and plastic pants.no one will know you have them on and it gives you a secure feeling knowing you are protected against accidents.i was a junior bride when i was 15 and wore a thick cloth diaper with cute plastic pants over it under my dress.i got nervous and had an accident and the diaper saved the day for me.i then wore the diaper and plastic pants under my white confirmation dress a year later,but did not have an accident.

ive been wettin the bed 4 my whole life basically everynite n now at 19 its stil fuckin happenin. Went 2 the doctors n ran sum tests shit like camera thru the urethra 2 chek 4 blockages and bladder size. They didnt find any blockages and that bladder was average size but that dnt sound rite 2 me coz i measured how much piss i culd release on a full bladder 4 my age n gender, male, ive read it like 800ml or roundabouts afta holding it in till it startd 2 hurt i only managed 2 get 250ml so i dnt understand. Then was put on these pill ditropan think they are called n they workd 4 bout a month n then jus stopped workin so even when i take the tablet i stil wet the bed. This shit is really messing with my head it stops me from doing so much like afta a nite out i cnt go bak 2 a chicks place or bring her home also when stayin a mates i pretty much just dnt sleep also im training 2 get ready 4 the army (wanna go far hopefully SASR) my training is going great but coz of the bed wetting going 2 training camps it would b 2 hard 2 hide. I made a deal with myself if by the age of 21 im still wetting the bed and there stil no progress on it ceasing im gunna end it myself maybe whereva i go il b able 2 hav a good nights sleep n wake up in the morning DRY.

Ok, well see, I am 13 and I still wear pullups to. My parents are tight on the money, so they decided to stop buying them [$14 for a pack of 14!!! :O] Yeah so I am JUST like you! Well I have not tried medicine or anything, but I have tried azn alam clock, parents waking me up, and EVERYTHING else!! I refuse to take pills though, because I am afraid of them. By the way, my name is Kirsti. And mine doesn't run in the family. So yeah. I even PRAY too hoping that God will answer my prayers....but, I'm still peeing so sometyimes i feel that God is not with me. So I feel hurt and last night when I woke up for the first time....guessw hat? I was wet. So I caught mysefl cussing at God. So I asked for 4givness. But yeah, I know how you feel. Now I am not sure if your a boy or a girl, [I am a girl] but if you would reply and maybe we could start being emailing pals, ya know to update each other on our "problem" then that would be great! But yes, I know how each and everyone of us people feels. And it especially has stopped me from sleeping over at anyones house, for the reason we had to stop buying pull-ups...So yes. I only sleep over at my Best Friends House bc she knows that I am trying to stop. But ok. I am gonna go. Bye person!

i am female and roman catholic.it is a tradition at our parish for the girls up to 17 to wear the full infant type baptism outfit..our parish gives each girl being baptized a pair of white plastic pants to wear over her cloth diaper under her baptism gown.the baptism diaper and plastic pants are then worn under the girls communion dress also.my two teen daughters ages 16 and 13 were baptized in 2008 and each wore the full infant outfit.they made their first communions a month later and i put their baptism diapes and plastic pants on them and they wore them for the day.all of the girls wore a diaper and plastic pants under their dresses.

I'm almost 20 years old, my hope for growing out of this is non-existent, its been 13 years of this bullshit and its still going on. It was ever night for years, then it slowed down to almost nothing maybe once or twice a month, then it was back for the nightly pool party. Its really terrible to let yourself get shit on by your parents about this. They have accused me of everything in the book and basically this is all my fault. My mom made me feel insecure and scared to have normal relationships and it really didn't help with me forming Sociopathic Antisocial behavior disorder. If you let your family get you down you will end up a depressed, angry, people hating dick like me and you don't want that. I've done every drug in the book minus heroin and meth. Acid, shrooms, smoked weed everyday for 3 years, I'm addicted to ciggarettes, cocaine, anything that is accessible because I truly hate my life and alot of it has to do with 13 years of waking up and realized "Oh shit, here I am again wet, a total loser."
Have confidence in yourself and realize that it really doesn't matter. I have kept my problem underwraps for many years and I never turned down any sleepovers never turned down a trip or an adventure. You just have to realize that this is your thing, it may be with you for a very long time. My dad left us and I started pissing, and here I am today still doing it a time or 2 a week possibly much more possibly a little less really depends. It has nothing to do with your routine, its got nothing to do with anything really. I have changed every thing I do, and I have changed nothing and statistically its been the same results. Pills didn't ever help me so don't think its the end all be all because it might not be, realize this might not go away and you will have to live a very painful life, but realize also that there are people out there that are so incredibly good in their hearts and they will love you regardless.
My fiance is the sweetest person and she's way out of my league. I'm not ugly but I'm not the hottest guy out there either, she's amazing. Nobody understands why she is with me but she is and I've pissed on her so many times its not even fathomable but SHE DOES NOT CARE!!!! She knows like any logical person would that if it was up to me I would wake up every time. You too will find this person. They're all around you, you just don't know it. It isn't hard for you to get friends either. Most of my friends have no idea. Only 2 people have ever found out about my problem the rest of them have no idea. Out of the dozens of people I have spent time with and stayed at houses with and etc, only 2 people ever found out and they never spoke a word so be fearless when it comes to making friends just make sure you are always prepared to cover your tracks like I always do.
My hardest part about this problem is right now though, with the baby on the way and rough job outlooks I'm attempting to join the military but I fear heavy reprisals from drill instructors and fellow recruits. I know that it will be impossible to hide my problem like I have from my friends. I really need to find a way to at least temporarily stop this problem while I am in bootcamp and job training. I don't think they will let me stay if they know I mess up the bed up to a few times a week.
Stay strong people its not that bad.
