Suggest Treatment For Wet Bedding In Adults

I am a 23 year old male who has been in good fairly good health for most of my life. However, as of recently I have started waking up with a wet bed. I have not has any problems with this in the past after age 3, it does not hurt when I urinate, and my urine is clear. What do you think causes this?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are concerned about the bedwetting problem that you have mentioned. Since this has started recently after achieving normal bladder control in childhood, this would be classified as a 'secondary eneuresis'.

There can be different causes for secondary eneuresis - both physical causes and psychological causes. So, a detailed evaluation, including certain investigations (to rule out physical problems) as well as a psychological assessment, is necessary to arrive at a definitive diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment. So, I would advise you to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
