Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing bedwetting at 18 and sometimes during the day. Can you help me understand why?
Answered by Dr. Andres Lopez-Munoz
Hello,
Your question, though uncommon, is important. Bedwetting at your age can be due to various factors. One common cause is a blockage in the urinary tract caused by bladder or kidney stones. Additionally, bladder issues like low capacity or nerve overactivity can contribute. However, the most frequent cause is a bladder's inability to retain urine due to nerve problems. Other factors such as medication, stress, and anxiety can also play a role.
Thanks.
