Only 10% of inconts wet the bed?


Recommended Posts

Do most people with IC have bladder control when they lie down but once they sit up, the floodgates open? Maybe that is what it meant. Then that means they have wet the bed. Maybe it meant while sleeping. :)

Less pressure on the bladder and lower urine production at night means fewer stress and urge incontinence events. So, less bedwetting.

Which would obviously explain why, the general populace wakes up and goes straight to the bathroom and takes a wee wee with a full bladder :P I actually as a incontinent person pee 24/7, and a good night diaper is a requirement as I am not changing as I can during the day, so there ya have it. Straight from the inco's mouth ;)

From what I've gleaned from Incontinents themselves, you're going to wet in your sleep much the same as when awake- only you won't know you need a change because you're asleep :o The medical world doesn't have much by the way of treating Incontinence, and as one would expect people don't like to admit failure- especially when they're a "professional" who is supposed to be able to "fix" health problems <_< So they're going to put a 'spin' on things, both to make themselves look better and to make their patients feel better because that's about all they can do if their few treatment options don't work :whistling:

Fake? Sorry just strikes me as strange way of saying it :huh:....Yeah there are a bunch of them there fakers over younder, dadburn AB's... :) . Anyway if you pee yourself without the control of being able to hold it then yes, you are indeed incontinent. As for why this is happening sounds more like a "faulty valve/muscle" situation, and should be followed up with a medical professional....Unless you are indeed a FAKER!!!! :roflmao:

I can't belive that number, seems way too low. For me, the last 18 months I've had about 14 dry nights and have full bladder leakage during the day on multiple occasions.

Everybody is different to some degree when your talking about urine production. Some produce more urine in the night but the amounts are, of course, directly effected by what you drink or eat.

Anyway it seems like a bad statistic to me as if your incontinent and you wet the bed once every ten days you'd wear a diaper right! Then you wouldn't have a wet bed......

It seems low to me, too. However, I've talked to and heard of guys who need diapers during the day because of leakage, but don't need them at night because they don't have a problem with bedwetting. Most of these guys were incontinent as a result of prostate surgery, so maybe that's the reason for the difference.

I wonder if they might mean actually getting the bed wet? I wet every night but thanks to enough protection I don't actually wet the bed more than 10% of the time.

that was my thought on this topic

I doubt that anybody would be interpreting things that literally. In that case, most us are not bed wetters unless we have a diaper failure. Most people use the terms bed wetting, night wetting, and nocturnal enuresis interchangeably.

I suspect the reported number of bedwetters is low due to underreporting.

Many people will not discuss this with their doctor or have a occasional condition that they don't define as bedwetting.

Since incontinence and nocturnal enuresis are self diagnosed conditions that have no definitive tests to confirm or refute their existence, the most reliable evidence of quantifiable numbers is probably sales of products.

A person may not tell a doctor, but they still need to use some kind of management product.

Haha! No one asked me either. But then... I consider myself at least functionally incontinent. I had wet myself once trying to make it home - stopped halfway down my long driveway, TURP to 'fix' it and things gradually got worse - yeah, I can hold it some, at times. Put me by a gas pump though and there's no way the tank's full before my tank is empty - or partially so. All that to say I wear M4's all day and do feel I could make the bathroom in time, but in my commute there's no way I'll make it. Run the tap at the sink and my tap is running too. So some control but then at times I'm wetting before I realize it.
