I'm 27 years old and so far I have soaked every now and then. I was treated by a urologist. Urodynamics showed that my bladder is not fully emptying. I had a urethral incision procedure, but it did not help with bedwetting, just a few days after the surgery, a "wet night" happened again. Of course, I was at the doctor's, but I don't think he was able to help me. He prescribed me medications (ditropan, bellergot). When using them, it happened that I got wet three times. Another urologist told me to set my watch and go to the toilet - it didn't work either - I got up to go to the toilet at 4 am and got wet at 5 am. I don't know what to do next. I don't even know which doctor to go to, since the urologist did not help me. I had the procedure a year ago and it helped because I do not urinate as often as I did before the procedure. I keep my urine normally during the day, so apparently everything is fine. I only go to the toilet more often when I'm more nervous.
Until the age of 5, bedwetting may occur or persist, but it is related to the immaturity of the nervous system. Reappearing at the age of 15 indicates that our urination habits and behavior are incorrect. Post-voiding delay also indicates this. Inappropriate posture when urinating related to the wearing of pants by women is also important - when urinating, lower the pants and underwear by the knees, and the legs should be widened. This prevents the pseudo-narrowing of the urethra associated with urinating with the legs joined and hence probably the delay after urinating. Urine should not be retained, and fluids should be provided regularly in the first half of the day, but only in the afternoon and at night. Regulating your own abnormal behavior will stop your enuresis. In other words, they are diseases related to civilization.
