Rachel Emily Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Whoever stated this was probably counting those with occasional bladder leakage as "incontinent." They wouldn't necessarily wet the bed. Link to comment
square_duck Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Or possibly they meant that Incons only wet about 10% of their bed...... 1 Link to comment
Nat Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 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. Link to comment
Craisler Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Less pressure on the bladder and lower urine production at night means fewer stress and urge incontinence events. So, less bedwetting. Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 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 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.

Bettypooh Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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 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 Link to comment

square_duck Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sounds more like stress incontinence than anything else. But thats just me. Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Fake? Sorry just strikes me as strange way of saying it ....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!!!! Link to comment
Walesiswet Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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...... Link to comment
Craisler Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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. Link to comment

Craisler Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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. Link to comment

Dill_Pickle Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Rachael, that feeling of PRETENDING is what hurts you -- but if you wake up, can't sit up without peeing some of the time, I'd call that incontinent. Link to comment
kevindhca Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 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. Link to comment
babyleanna75 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I am a day time incontinent person but dont wet the bed however I do wet my diaper as soon as I stand up Link to comment
DonsbabyKS Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have a difficult time with these percentages as I agree with kevindha that they are typically under reported. Link to comment
diaperpt Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 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. Link to comment
