I am 13 years old and for the last two weeks I have been wetting the bed every night, I spray axe all in my room to hide the smell but my mom is getting suspicious and I'm scared to tell her, What should I do and if I tell her how should I tell her :(

Well it could be anything from puberty, to stress...
Its nothing to be ashamed of, you can't help it so why be ashamed. Its like saying a baby should be sad it pooped in its diaper. Just ease it into a conversation, start it by talking about the smell and then tell her. She is your mom she should understand and be supportive.

You should probably tell your mom if it continues because it could be serious. Only give it another week max. I think its better to be embarrassed than to have a surgery or something

I agree with the answers above, except for spending anymore time waiting to see if the problem will stop. Also, I would like to add that if this might be a medical condition where you actually may need some immediate attention to correct it because of something physical that is going on, then it would be best to be letting someone know who can get you to a doctor for the proper diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Ryan-O,

Has there been any change in your immediate environment? Like a new member in the family?or change of residence(home)?

Your bed wetting could be related to any other event happening at the moment that is causing you stress or anxiety.

My advise would be to discuss with your mom,
As Clough mentioned it could be a medical condition and might not go away on its own.
Even if it is not a medical condition,your mom needs to know if you have any other problems which is the cause of the bed wetting and you need all the support you can get at a time like this.

Keep us posted.

EDIT:: About telling your mom, you will know best the right approach as you know her well and we don't.

Sweetie, it happens, don't be so hard on yourself. It could be medical, so like others have told you, you need to see a doctor. Your mom loves you, she won't look down on you, tell her. I have a feeling that once you do you'll feel allot better about everything.

This needs to be looked at by a doctor asap, if it is a medical condition, the sooner it's diagnosed the better. If it's not a medical condition then the doctor and your mom can stear you in the right direction to find out what's going on.

Good luck.

I had the same problem but after a few weeks it went away

Definitley speak to your mum... you could have a medical problem, which needs to be sorted out.

It may be a bladder infection which is easily sorted with a coarse of anti-biotics, please don't suffer in silence, this will make you more anxious which is likely to make the bladder more sensitive to going more often.

A visit to the doctor will sort it out, just take along a water sample and he will test it or maybe send it off to be tested in the hospital.

Don't worry your not the only one with this problem... go see your Doctor

I have the same problem and the doctor thinks it connected to a mental proplem

Tell your mom ! It is nothing to be ashamed of.. it could possibly be a sleep disorder called enuresis. There is medicine that may help..

I'm a 15 yr. old girl who went through the same thing. I had it my whole life though and it didn't stop unitl I had my mom take me to the doctor and started taking 3 tablets at bedtime. (which is what he prescribed me) after a couple months I was able to stop taking them and it hasen't happened since. Talk to your mom about, have her take you to the doctor, and hopefully you won't have the problem anymore.

Hey bud... I'm 17 and I just wet the bed for the second night in a row. My mom understands but still makes me wash my stuff. Lol. But if you tell her and make her believe that you want to fix the problem, then ask your doctor, or just look it up online. It's becoming less frequent for me. Like once or twice per month now. What I do is drink less fluids two hours before bedtime and try to wake up at night. It's working for me, see what It does for you.

I'm a mom of a bedwetter. First, she probably already knows what happened. Second, its no big deal. She probably doesn't want to bring it up so you don't feel bad but if you're concerned then just ask her to make you an appointment to check for a bladder infection. Its valid and easier to ask :) Also, I notice with my son that he does it when he's REALLY tired. He sleeps like a rock and when he's overtired he gets SO relaxed... I have also heard that when teens who are in a major growth spurt, the bladder grows and adjusts last so it tends to happen more in boys who are newly tall. Hope this helps hun.

Well you might be drinking too much water or sodas [coke] and if you don't empty your bladder before bed you could end up wetting the bed..

Also you might have a weak bladder and you will need to train it to hold your urine until you need to urinate again.. you will need to see a doctor to find out more about your problem..
