Hi all
First post so not sure what to expect - I looked on the first post forum but saw that not many got any replies, so thought i'd start here
Put simply my 18 year old son is night time incontinent, Its been going on for ( i think) at least 8 months or so.
Initially it was an odour in his room that he claimed was through / after a night out when he'd had too many drinks. My wife and I sorted the room slowly and thought it was a one off.
He's a private lad and my wife and I dont want to make an issue of it BUT its been going on ( and off i think) since then. In the last week or so while decorating his room we found a pack of night time pants and since wet ones that he must be disposing of periodically. I know of a couple of times hes put them in the outside bin when clearing his room discreetly.
He doesnt know that we are aware of this, as we haven't mentioned and we obviously understand the sensitivity / embarrassment he's likely to be feeling.
My wife did speak to him a few months ago but he denied it was an issue when we suggested seeing a Dr for a check up. He's otherwise fit and healthy and plays sports etc / eats ok / seemingly drinks enough.
Truthfully I'm both upset for him and welcome advice on how to approach it again without upsetting him and making it worse.
I guess I'm also looking for some hope that this might be solvable in the longer term as Im upset with it and not sure how to approach.
Ive done some reading about teenage incontinence but welcome thoughts
His older brother has T1 diabetes which happened as a teen - Can this be linked?
