severe bedwetting.

I have almost always wet the bed. Well, since I was about five years old.
I've never officially 'stopped' but I have gone a few months without wetting the bed sometimes.
I'm 16 years old. My mother stopped when she was 12 years old. What's wrong with me? I'm a junior in high school.
And this whole week I've wet the bed every day. I'm at a loss of what to do.

Why have I wet the bed so much?
I'm so confused.

I have already hit puberty. Maybe it's stress, but that doesn't explain why I've always done it.
There were times when I would wet the bed 3 times in the night. It's so embarrassing.

hi google, this is from website onehealthylifestyle.com and offer some suggestions and solutions to your problem. Bedwetting can also be caused by a bladder infection. Buy yourself some pull ups in the meantime, and get yourself to the doctor to have this problem taken care of. It is hereditary by the way, as you have already pointed out:

Causes of Bed Wetting

The most common cause of bed wetting in children is simply a neurological-developmental delay in the ability to control their bladders at night. However, a return of bed wetting in adolescence or adulthood may result from a number of behavioral factors or medical conditions. Family history may also play a part.

The most common problem is drinking too much just before going to bed. Due to the extended bladder, the person is more likely to wet the bed. This is precipitated by dreams of going to the bathroom. The person thinks he or she has gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom, but then wakes up to find that he or she has actually wet the bed.

Another cause is incontinence. This inability to control urination affects people of all genders and ages but is more pronounced in women. Other medical causes of adult bed wetting include diabetes, urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, prostate enlargement, bladder cancer, obstructive sleep apnea and neurological disorders.

Psychological and emotional problems can also lead to bed wetting. A return to bed wetting in late childhood or adolescence can be a sign of sexual abuse or extreme bullying, or could result from extreme stress, such as a death in the family.
Bed Wetting Solutions

The best way to stop bed wetting is to restrict liquids about two hours before going to bed. With less fluid intake, the bladder is unlikely to be full and extended while you are in heavy sleep.

An alternative solution is to use a battery-operated bed wetting alarm that sounds when urination begins. The bed wetting alarm will wake you up so that you can go to the bathroom. Over time, it will also train your body to respond to urination signals by waking you up na

Have you seen your doctor about this? There is medication available as well as bladder training exercises.

I actually went to the doctor a long time ago when I was 8 years old.
I was put on some medication and I remember it didn't work and it only caused me severe headaches so I stopped taking it. I know I should see a doctor but I'm not sure if we have insurance and if we do, I'm not sure how much it covers but I'll be sure to discuss it with my mom. This has to stop.
Thank you all for the replies, it's greatly appreciated. And if you find anything else out let me know.
I will keep this up to date.
