Bed Wetting Problem. Cause? Have Eczema

Hello i have a question. I am a 12 year old girl. I have been wetting the bed ever since i was born. I wear diapers to bed so it doesnt smell or make a stain. Sometimes i pee so much it actually wets the bed! I really hate this problem. My mom says that its a 'gift' from god. Or a test something like that. And that i have to accept what he gives me. Well i can't! It keeps me away from things like sleepover and over night trips. I avoid my friends when they are talking about sleepovers and make up fake ones. I say i had them with other friends from another school. I really want to know what causes this, how to stop it, or even suggestions. Yes i do pee at night before i sleep and i try my best not to drink too much water after 8 since my bedtime is 10:00. But i have this skin rash called Eczema that i need water for my skin or it will be dry. But i drink lots of water BEFORE 8:00. Any ideas or cure for this?

Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Bedwetting in your age needs treatment to avoid discomfort because of this event.

You can go for bed wetting alarms which will wake up you when the sensor detects the start of wetting in addition to the measures you are following for this problem at present.

Go for urine investigations to look for any infection.

Drugs like imipramine and vasopressin are the second line of treatment in this problem.

Consult the doctor along with your parents to get evaluated and treated for this problem.

For eczema you can use emollients to keep the skin moisture and steroid creams to decrease the inflammation so consult the doctor for prescription of medication.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
