I am 21 years old and I wet myself practically every night. I went to the urologist and I did not find any defects, etc. Are there any medications for this ailment?
Bed wetting may go away, but you should find out what cause it may be. In other words, after the birth defects have been ruled out, the type of bladder dysfunction that affects bedwetting should be diagnosed and determined. In addition, it is advisable to analyze your own habits, of course with your doctor, filling in the "voiding diary" specifying the portion of urine excreted and the volume of fluids consumed. Often, changing your habits in conjunction with drug treatment can bring good results.
