Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes 12year Old To Wet The Bed And Hide Wet Clothes?
I have a twelve year old boy who wets the bed nightly. He is showing signs of puberty. He has had this problem since about six months after he was potty trained. We have used Desmopressin nose spray for about 4 years but he has grown alot and even an increased dose doesn t seem to work anymore. He has terrible hygiene habits at night after an accident. He hides wet clothes and doesn t take the time to clean himself afterward. Are there any new or more effective txs. for this. it has caused such stress and he doesn t seem to care anymore.
In his case, you can try imipramine. It would help to decrease the bed wetting. You can also try few methods like avoid fluid before sleep, take him to toilet at mid night, star charting for boost his confidence, bed alarm etc. Consult a psychiatrist for imipramine.
Thanks
