How To Stop Bedwetting In Men?
Hello, I m 23 years old male. When I m fast asleep early in the morning I piss in the bed unintentionally. But not daily. It happened last night which is only once in this year i.e., 2011. In 2010 may me 2 times. I have been bedwetting till my age of 12. When I was 13 I got control over this. But again from the past 5 years I have been bedwetting once or twice in an year. What may be the reason? Should I consult a physician? Please help. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
With a history of bed wetting in the past and recurrence after approximately 10 years needs to be investigated.
The problem can be due to weakness of the muscles controlling the urinary sphincter.
I suggest you to consult your physician for a micturating cystogram.
the investigation will assess the status of the bladder and the bladder musculature while voiding urine.
Thanks and take care
