Just thought I would do an update following my post three days ago about bedwetting as a teenager. This may be long apologies. I went to the doctors today and they felt my stomach and said that it was very hard, I am consitpated badly - worse than I though considering I have been going maybe twice a week, everyday 3 days or so. They said that this could be one of the reasons why I have been bedwetting and that I could have been slightly constipated all along but not enough that my stomach was hard. So I am doing disimpaction. I am now also having one or two at the max accidents a day. I thought that I would update as a couple of people asked to let them know how I get on. But may not see it one the other post so I have done a new one.
Any advice on bedwetting, protection or routines that you may have tried or know someone who has tried that I should try out would be more that welcome be just leave them down so that I can read them.
Does anyone else have teenagers (I am 15 by the way) who still bed wet.
Do keep us updated - there are lots of us on here rooting for you! I also really hope you get some replies from other teenagers, as I bet there are some lurking on here! My son is 13 but probably won’t be able to reply with anything useful as we haven’t worked it all out ourselves yet, and he’s high functioning on the autistic spectrum so doesn’t always know how to communicate as effectively as your average teenager! Though if you want to know plane statistics he’s your man! He’s away currently as he boards at his special school in the week, but when he’s home I’ll ask him if he has any insight to offer you. Sometimes he can surprise me with this!
Oh thank you - you are so kind. I bet you son it a lovely boy. Do let me know if you think of anything else either on here (which is probably better) or the other one (Bedwetting). It is so nice to finally feel like someone can relate to me as for so long I thought I was alone it this. Thank you. If you think of anything else or try anything please do let me know. Have you tried anything in the past that I could try literally anything? Are you in a routine with your son at all at night before he goes to bed to help him that I could try out?
It depends how bad you incontinence it
No of you don’t want to do it yourself than just wear a pad
