Is there a link between Childhood bedwetting and Adult Incontinence?

Here's comment I left earlier.

 

I was a bedwetter until my late teens and then, everything seems to have gone away, and I was now like evryone else.

 

Went off to school, got a job, wife and kids, everything was good.  Had the occasional bedwetting(1-2 times a year), but besides that, nothing.

 

Then people noticed I started to go to the bathroom quite often.  This developped into what I would call OAB.  I eventually started to wet the bed at night again at 30 years old and had daytime urgency.  At 32, my wife and I decided it would be best if I wear a diaper at night.  That was a littler embarassing to say the least.Embarassed And it also interferes with sexual activity.  My wife is not a big fan of me having to wear a DIAPER to bed.

 

During the day, the urgency would come and go.  Sometimes I would barely make it, but always managed.  When it would realy flare up, I would wear a diaper if we were out shopping or travelling for extended hours.  I  put off seeing a doctor, because I've also done alot of research on the issue, and it seems you simply move on from one drug to another, and one way of dealing with the wetness to another.  I'm beeing treated for BPH; however, my prostate is not much larger than a healthy prostate.

 

I'm now 40 years old. I wear cloth diapers at night.  They are the only thing that will keep the bed dry 99% of the time. I also wear diapers during the day now, again because of OAB, but recently, my bladder just lets go.  I don't know that I had to go.  So now its 24/7 in diapers.  And because I work in an office, I find that guards for men or even the cloth likeness of a disposable diaper are not good for men.  When the bladder decides to let go, I usely end up wet on both sides, by my front pockets.  I wish they could do something for that.

Your story is alot like mine only was older started leaking at night then some in the day when not making it to tiolet.Needless to say was a big letdown going back to diapers but to keep my wife and bed dry was nessary.The uro dr. said it was due to bph along with uti's he put me on uroxatral which helped the uti's but sill left me incontinence the stigma and shame was hard to deal with,but the diaper sure gives me security when out and not worring about were the restrooms are at and making a mess.Good luck
