Just wanted to vent.

Been struggling with wetting the bed after consuming alcohol, need to go toilet ridiculous amounts of times when I drink - and it’s been getting worse when not drinking too.

Had doctors run tests, everything came back clear apart from B12 levels which I’m having shots for.

Anyway, last few times I’ve drank and gone out I’ve not wet the bed, was feeling pretty happy that the issue had resolved and now suddenly the last two times I’ve wet the bed again.

So depressing dealing with it. Anyone have advice on bedwetting and B12?

So for background... (I'm a 33yo male)

Around 3 years ago I started having real urgent urges to pee when I was drinking alcohol, and over the last year or so this has turned into wetting the bed whenever I have drunk. alcohol. Added to this, the urges to go the toilet when drinking normal fluids also increased but not as bad as alcohol.

I went to the GP and he suspected OAB. He ran tests to rule other things out. I had a bladder scan, and it came back as normal. I had a blood test which checked kidneys, liver and other functions, and every function came back as normal.

I have read on forums that OAB isn't curable and you just have to manage it? And that the medications that are around can have horrible side effects, including dementia?

My question is, what now? I actually wanted there to be a tear or something wrong in the bladder tube so that they could at least operate and fix the issue.

I've been Doctors and he suspects Over Active Bladder (OAB), but he's running tests at the moment.

I came home about 2 and a half weeks ago, and I have been out a fair few times in that time with friends and family to the pub - and literally everytime I have, I have woke up to a wet bed. I was hoping I'd be able to control it better but no luck. Very frustrating.

Hey,

I recently bit the bullet and bought diapers, wore for first time. I am a heavy wetter, and it did work well I have to admit. Still coming to terms with the idea though. One thing that I did notice was under my clothes, it tended to sag the more I used it... I wondered if there is any solution to stop the sagging? As that's what made me feel self-conscious in the bar even though I had baggy trousers on.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm a 33 year old male, relatively fit and healthy but basically about 3 years ago when drinking alcohol, it started sending me toilet a lot in pubs where I'd have to go multiple times. I just laughed it off.

But it's progressed, so about this time last year whenever I'd been drinking I started wetting the bed infrequently; I just put it down to too much booze. And this year, I've been wetting every time I drink more or less. I even had to buy a protective mattress cover for under my sheets to help, but all my sheets still get soaked.

It's reached point now where even in bars or even normally, I can barely hold myself and I am going toilet 10-15 times a day with no alcohol, and 25 times a day with alcohol. I've nearly wet myself in bars waiting for toilet even though only two people infront of me. In work and during the week, I hardly drink fluids because it just sends me to the toilet immediately - even sips of water and 30 minutes later I am having to go to the toilet.

It's worrying how it has worsened over time and how I am now having close calls. I am returning home in 5 weeks, so will visit a GP - but reading these forums, I know how the doctors often can't pinpoint the causes.

I just wondered if anyone had any advice/similar situation/how I manage this. Thank you!

(Before anyone gives a lecture on alcohol, it isn't connected to alcohol as I gave up alcohol for 5 weeks earlier in the year and it still persisted. I'm a social drinker at weekends and will continue to be, please do not lecture on it).
