I was not a nightly bedwetter as a kid. However, from about ages 5 to 7. I had persistent rheumatic fever and sometimes wet at night if I was running a fever. Then, when I was 14 years, I had surgery after which I was in hospital for almost 3 months as a result of excessive bleeding and a systemic infection that almost killed ne. That episode in my teens caused permanent nerve damage the adversely affected my bladder control. I have not been reliably dry at night since then and have urge incontinence if I can't get to a bathroom quickly when I feel the urge to urinate.
