Suggest Treatment For Bed-wetting In A Child

My son is 25 and still wets the bed everynight. He is very lazy and I believe that he just doesn't want to be bothered by getting out of bed to go to the bathroom. He says his friends know about his problem and accept it. He is resolved that this is who he is and thats that. We have a 6 yr old that cannot go into his brother's room because its smell so heavily of urine. What do we do?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Treatments range from behavioral-based options such as bedwetting alarms, to medication such as hormone replacement, and even surgery such as urethral enlargement.
Most treatment plans aim to protect or improve self-esteem.
Tricyclic antidepressant prescription drugs have been proven successful in treating bedwetting.
See a doctor if the problem persists.
Avoid caffiene, alcohol, tea, soft drink just before bed.

Hope i helped you.
