What kind of doctor would I take my son to for treatment of bedwetting? I plan to take my 7-year-old to a doctor at Children's Hospital for help with bedwetting. What kind of doctor should I take him to? There have been no psychological changes or trauma, but his dad was a bedwetter as a kid, too. I don't scold him or embarrass him about it - he wears pull-ups, and it's kind of a non-issue. But, the problem's not getting any better, and I'd like to get some professional help before it messes with his self-esteem.

He is going into the 7th grade and it has gotten to the point where he will just say he will not want to go sleepover with friends because he is afraid that they will find out that he wets the bed and will make fun of him when I was young I also went through the same thing and I know that it is hard not being able to hang out with friends just for that
How many chances should I give a bedwetting foster child before sending him back? It's almost every night that he soaks the sheets, and the state doesn't pay for goodnite diapers or laundry, so I need to lay down the law. I'm going to give him a warning.

He's 12 years old so that's way too old to be peeing on himself at night.

Should I have my son discuss his bedwetting with the Rabbi or is bedwetting strictly a medical issue? My 10 year old son wets almost every night. The doctor says he should grow out of it; it's just the way his body is growing. So all my son can do is wear underjams to manage the problem. I'm wondering if I should ask the rabbi to speak to my son. Maybe there are spiritual aspects to this as well. If there aren't, of course, we don't want to let another person in on this, as my son is very embarrassed by it.

Does anyone know why boys apparently have bedwetting problems about twice as often as girls? I've read this everywhere but have never seen anyone try to explain why this is the case. Does it have to do with the way the bladder or other organs develop during childhood? Is the typical age at which a boy with this problem finally "outgrows" it correspondingly later than that of a girl with the same problem? Would men then be more likely than women to continue to have "accidents" of bladder control during sleep even into adolesence and young adulthood?

Guy, what would you do if your little sister started dating a bedwetting liberal? My little sister has this liberal guy friend who has been hanging around her more and more. He is always there to cry with her and talk about her emotions. I don't trust this little wuss. I've warned my little sister, this guy will not defend you, he will run away when danger comes. He will take her on boring dates to see French movies and he will drain her emotionally. Maybe she will just have to find out for herself, but I still think I should kick his ass.

Where can I get help with bedwetting ? I'm 14 & I wet the bed, is there anyplace I can meet kids with the same problem & talk to them about it? Most of the message boards are full of weirdos.

I have lots of adults to talk to, but I'd like to talk to kids with the same problem. Sorry, I don't contact strangers online.
How to cure bedwetting, STILL at almost 16 years old? I am a VERY deep sleeper, almost 16 years old (male), and cannot shake this humiliating, debilitating problem. I went to the doctor a couple years ago about it, and was given pills, but they didn't seem to work. That or I didn't take them regularly enough. I also have an extremely small bladder, which probably has something to do with it. Solutions? Trolls will be reported, and answers will be rewarded. I am not asking how to not piss all over my sheets, I am asking how to stop completely.

If so, what kind of abuse would be likely to cause this?
What is "normal" bedwetting for a 6 year old? My son is 6 yrs old and still wets his pants. I know this is still "normal", especially considering his dad was a bed wetter until he was 12, but my son actually wets himself more when he is awake than when he is sleeping. He says he doesn't know when he has to go, which can be a potential medical issue, but I think he might just be saying it to get out of trouble. He rarely ever wet himself during school, its usually when he is outside playing which makes me think he just doesn't pay attention. Any tips or advice? Suggestions to try first before seeing a doctor?

My 10 year old son wants to wear diapers for his bedwetting. Should I let him? My son has been wetting several times a week for about half a year. The doctor said it's better that he doesn't wear a diaper, because that will make it harder for him to stop wetting. But the other day my son asked me for diapers.
