Hi Everyone, new member here!
Unfortunately, I am not new to bedwetting though. It feels as though its a lonely place to be in young adult life, so I'm finally reaching out to others on forums...
I've been wetting the bed on and off for a number of years, since my late teens, with no idea why. (I'm late 20's now)
I will have a few months of being fine, and then the wet nights return with a vengeance for a week or two.
Now the wet nights are getting more frequent, and the time in-between is getting shorter. I am losing hope of this problem going away.
I have another docs appointment scheduled soon, the first in quite awhile, and tips or things I should be aware of walking into the appointment?
Thanks!
I would take a deep look into your bowel habits. Most of my doctors blame my issue on constipation. They are still looking into the root cause but a lot of bedwetting at early ages is blamed on constipation.
Not to scare you more but my doctors feel like my constipation did nerve damage thus making it impossible to tell when I have to go. That led to a lot of physical therapy, that did nothing to help. Now, a lot of surgeries that all suck. Diapers suck but they are far better than wet and messy pants for me.
As far as being lonely... Get out there. Make friends, find someone, anyone to talk to in real life. Anyone who truly loves you will not care, and if they care they they truly do not love you. (I know it's hard and I was there for quite a while as well but it gets better when you are open with people and just accept that some people will leave you because they don't understand... But those people do not matter even if they are family... Trust me on that)
Hope you get the help you need.
