Yes they will test your urine for infection if that comes back okay they may give u a bed wetting alarm to try or if not oxybutine tablets

When you was younger did your mum never take you to the doctors over the bed wetting

Okay there's other tablets the doctor. Can also give you to try you could also try wearing a dipper to bed like lots of us do on here its not a nice problem to have and its hard to deal with

Have you tried a bed wetting alarm? Tell us what you have done in the past.

I haven't really done anything but alarms don't wake me up

Unless the boyfriend has been around a while and things are more then serious, he does not need to know.

When is it okay to tell him?

 

[Archives1]

Alarms often need the help of parents to wake you up. Certainly in the beginning stages of treatment.

Only you will know when to tell. If you are imagining a life long future together perhaps it is time to consider telling.

Oh okay thank you

When i go to the doctor will I get preference over how to deal with it?

 

[Archives1]

Doctors will go through a process of elimination. Urine-analysis to rule out infection. Physical exam to rule out abnormality further tests for the same etc. It is usually not a quick fix. How have you managed things in the past?
