Not totally puberty-related and I think you may get better responses here.

It might be wet-dreams. If so, masturbate every day.

If it is bed-wetting, try getting a bed-wetting alarm, or maybe just a regular alarm clock. Set it for a time that is halfway through the night and go to the bathroom. Hope this helped.

i kinda had this problem. i occasionally wet the bed until i was about 14. i stopped drinking anything 2 hours before bed. i think it has something to do with puberty because once i started developing more i stopped... well that's how it was in my experience

I wrote a kind-of long response a few months ago about this, so I'll post it in here for the sake of not typing it out again (lazy)

I have a friend who is actually in the same situation as you are. Due to my concern about him, I did a little research on the subject of teens wetting the bed.

Nocturnal Enuresis is the technical name for it. It basically means that you may not have the best bladder control, and when you fall into an extremely deep sleep, some sleep heavier than others, you simply cannot be woken up naturally to empty out your bladder. When the bladder is full it sends a message to the brain that it needs to be emptied, and then the brain relays a message back which keeps the bladder from automatically emptying in your sleep. If you do have nocturnal enuresis, you will not be woken up out of your sleep to pee due to the fact that you are in an extremely deep sleep, or you are being affected by other factors.

This can be caused by a number of different things:
- It could be a hormonal imbalence. A hormone called antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps the body produce less urine at night, but sometimes we don't produce enough of this hormine - causing your bladder to fill while you sleep
- Your bladder could be weak, or small (not allowing it to hold much urine)
- You may have a sleeping condition that causes you to sleep heavier than the average teen
- It could be an emotional factor as well. Have you been having a hard time in school? Maybe with friends or with your family? Stress is a possible contributer to bedwetting.

To help your problem I would suggest not eating or drinking anything for at least two hours before you go to bed. And try to cut fizzy drinks, coffee and tea out of your diet - as they can irritate the bladder, in turn weakening it while you are asleep.

Another option would be to look into a bedwetting alarm. These alarms sense when you are wetting the bed and they let off a buzz or a ding to wake you up. By being woken up every time you begin to wet the bed, your brain will make the connection to wake you up when it realizes that you need to pee.

Good luck with all, I hope I helped - keep us posted with how everything goes!

This is actually called enuresis, and can go into the upper teen years.

You might consider visiting a doctor and I don't need to worry about wetting my bed because If I need to go I will just sleep walk to the bathroom. I did it at my friends house once

[Jmihas]

Omg, do not worry! You may need to go to the bathroom recently? Or is there something that worries you?

I don't think that what I'm going to say will apply to the original poster in this thread...because he's had the problem for so long. I mention it though because it might be helpful to others reading this....especially if they have a younger brother/sister who's started to wet.

Constipation can cause bed wetting. Huh????

Yes.....if your colon is packed with poop it expands and can apply pressure to your bladder....and that can cause you to pee more often; including at night.

Just because you poop some every day doesn't mean that you're not backed up. Kids can be constipated and no one knows.

My neighbor's kid had that problem. He ate at McDonalds and got the runs.....and the bed-wetting went away :)
