What Causes Bed Wetting In Adults?
Question: This morning I wet the bed..like crazy. I knew i was peeing like in my sleep i was dreaming about it and then all of a sudden i woke up and was still urinating and even when i was awake i couldn't control it. I've experienced this once before with very little urine but this was insane. I didn't even wet the bed as a child. I don't have a UTI. What else could this be :( Should i be asking a urologist or an internal medicine doctor about this?
Brief Answer:
Occasional wetting of bed may not be abnormal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
It would be very helpful, if you give the following details.
1. When was the previous episode of similar urination ?
2. Did you drink a lot of water the previous night ?.
3. Are you on regular medication for any other illness ?.
The following reports are needed,if not done in past 3 months :
1. Blood routine, creatinine,RBS, Free T3,T4,TSH,and LFT.
2, urine routine and culture.
3. ultrasound scan-KUB, with residual urine.
Once the reports are available, get examined by an Urologist and show the reports.
You can send a copy of the reports here,for an expert opinion.
Kindly include a copy of the Urologists' examination also.
Wish you well.
