I can't wake up to use the bathroom.

Posted by CallMeSunshine

I am a 23 y/o female, and since I can remember I've always had difficulty with waking up in the morning. However, within the last for years it has turned into me unable to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I tried to track a pattern to this (like if I'm drinking too much too late) but even on days where I don't drink a lot I still wet the bed though it may not be much.

It has now gotten to the point where instead of waking from my sleep, I have scenes in my dreams where I am going to the bathroom to release. It feels so real and I feel like I have to pee and go through the motions to do so in my dream. However, in each dream when it comes for me to actually release, I do so in real life too as well as in my dreams. But in my dream I have this reoccurring part where the toilet over flows because I can't stop; and thats when I wake up and find that I have wet the bed. During the day I never have problems with leaking or inability to control myself. This is only happening at night.

I've gone to a obgyn and a urologist so far. Both have looked at me like I was making this up, or just a person who does not know how to control themselves. They said there is no research on this issue so basically i'm out go luck and could just be put on med's for the rest of my life.

I've also tried Kegel exercises, bladder control herbal supplements, and setting my alarm in the middle of the night (this works but who really can remember, is able, or even WANTS to set a clock for each night for the rest of their life!?). I've lost hope and I really need help, suggestions, and encouragement. I can't develop relationships with people for fear of this happening, I'm scared to travel, I go through bed sheets like crazy, and I'm just become insecure with my able to control myself. If anyone is going through this, or has an idea what to do, what this is, or what type of doctor to see please help.

I know its called nocturnal enuresis and the type is Adult Onset Secondary Enuresis.View Thread

Nocturnal Enuresis and InterStim device

Posted by Quizical

I have an 11 year old daughter who suffers from nocturnal enuresis. She has never had more than a few nights or perhaps a week when she did not wet the bed. I am divorced and she lives primarily with her mother (who does not communicate with me) so I am not clear as of this moment (I'll find out) what information or misinformation she has given my daughter's primary care physician and the urologist she has seen. I was told tonight that my daughter is scheduled to have the Medtronic Interstim device implanted next week to help with her bed wetting. I do know that my daughter has been on a medication in the past to control this without success and tried the bed-wetting alarm system (don't know how strictly it was adhered to) without success. I do know that no real consistent attempt has been made to restrict fluid intake in the evening either. My daughter's pattern of bed-wetting is not every night but I have noticed that even when she voids before bed and in the middle of the night (she now does wake up often and voids) she may wet in the wee hours of the morning even if her last voiding was an hour or two before. Perhaps this is when she is the deepest asleep(?). Also, during the night when she wakes to void, she does not drink any fluids so her last fluid intake would have been up to 6 hours before. I have found with what little research I have now done tonight that this device has not been approved for children under 16 and has not been studied in my daughter's cohort. As such I have obvious safety concerns for her growing body and nervous system in particular. I do know that one cause of nocturnal enuresis could be a not fully developed neuro pathway between the brain and bladder so could this intervention hamper that development? I have also not found any information online regarding this treatment for nocturnal enuresis in any cohort. Is this a proper treatment option for her (I know I have provided limited information and I will not base any decision on any responses here alone). What safety concerns should I have? What information can you share with me or direct me to other than a consult with her urologist (which I will have)?View Thread
