Hello. I am a 17 year old boy. I have been a bedwetter as far as I remember. As a child (a kid under 10), it really didn’t bother me, but now I am searching for a solution to this and don’t know where to even find information about this.
Edit: Thanks for the answers. Might also be testicular torsion + operation or my “healthy” lifestyle.

As a kid my mother bought underpants that beeped when they got wet.
Trained me so well I can keep a full liter in the bladder for half a day :p.I would love to get that for my son who still bedwets, but he’s such a heavy sleeper it’d probably wake the rest of the house before it ever woke him up.
Hmmmmm, have you went to an urologist?
I wouldn’t really like to, so no.
I mean, you really really should, you could have something going on.
I know
Then go, even if you don’t like it, your health is more important than not to suffer a momentary moment of discomfort or anxiety.
I’l go when i’m 18 if it doesn’t stop.
Is kinda dumb to wait tbh.
I wet the bed until I was 18. I’m 38 now, and only last year found out I have autism. So maybe a correlation? I also had severe crippling anxiety until I was 21, so I think that was more of a contributor to my bed wetting than the autism, and I’m an extremely heavy sleeper, so that didn’t help.
When I was little I had issues with bedwetting. From what I learned for me is it always happens during rem sleep. In my case I am plenty aware during this time to wake myself up though it took me a few times to get it right. Now I have a issue where I have to use the bathroom very shortly before falling asleep including any random times I wake up. This really does a number on my sleep sadly.
Perhaps it’s a stupid suggestion, but why not go before sleeping?
I do. I just drink a lot of water and can take a long time to fall alseep
Why drink water before bed then? I don’t get it.
Hi! In short, yes.
Hyposensitivity is a term to look into.
In short, it means dampened signals - or slow processing of signals - from the body, like feeling cold, warm, hungry, full bladder, pain, etc.
Some people who have it strongly say they just got used to setting timers for going to the bathroom and eating.
I always thought, that I am hypersensitive, but after lookin into it i’m confused. Can I be hypersensitive to sound and touch, but hyposensitive to body signals?
Yes. It is fairly common to have a mix of both. Sometimes in ways that don’t feel sensible. E.g. hypersensitive to touch but hyposensitive to pain, so you can pretty much ignore bumping your elbow on a doorframe, but find it extremely distracting that a sock is slightly too tight.
