Brief Answer:
The cause needs to be identified first.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, first, there is need for a urinary bladder function evaluation.
You need to have a genitourinary tract ultrasound and an Urologist evaluation.
If there are no urinary tract abnormalities, other causes should be assessed, mainly stress disorder is associated with episodes of bed wetting.
Simple measures to avoid bed wetting include fluid restriction at evenings, always emptying bladder before sleep.
If bed wetting is related to stress disorder, Imipramine helps improve the condition.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Brief Answer:
What was the diagnosis/reason for Cath?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for asking back.
More information needed about the diagnosis concluded by urologist, in order to understand better your condition.
Did you had any vertebral column/ spine imaging ( MRI) check up in the past?
If there was a suspicion about neurogenic bladder disfunction, spinal MRI is mandatory.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Brief Answer:
There is need to consult a Neurosurgeon.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again XXXXXXX
If there were abnormal findings on spinal MRI, then this is strong evidence about neurogenic bladder disfunction.
I suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon, or if you did, have a second opinion, about spinal cord MRI findings.
Hope I helped you. Wishing you good health.
