21 Years. Problem Of Bed Wetting. Episodes Usually Preceded With Dream Creating Urge For Urination. Help

Hello doctor,well i have been experiencing bed-wetting as an adult (21 years) for quite a while now(for around 5-6years).I am a college going student and its embarrassing,when i realize that i continue to wet my bed like almost 2-3 times a month(only at nights) ,and i am awaken by the warm feeling from the wet clothing.
Some episodes are preceded with a dream,that creates the urge to urinate,and i end up wetting my pants without realizing the need to go to the washroom.
How can an overcome this problem doctor?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Bed wetting "Nocturnal enuresis" much is common among the toddlers which goes away as the child becomes older, but at the age of 21 it is most unlikely, before to come on common cause of this, I would suggest you for certain investigations first complete urine analysis, second Blood sugar test, third Usg of whole Abdomen, if these turned negative then you try bladder training, in day time when you feel like passing of urine, just hold it down as long as you can then go for urination just do it every time, do not drinki water before going to bed, not just water but any liquid, this will help you a lot, if it fails then try Amitriptyline ( antidepressant ) one tab. at bed time. have nice day.
