I have a kid brother who's going to turn 16 in few months but still bedwets.
I heard even some adults especially young adults experience this, I don't want him to go like this till adulthood because he's going to become an adult in no time.
Most times when he wakes up and notice he had bedwit he feels so sad. Anyone here knows the remedy?

He should stop taking anything liquid latest by 6pm, if possible, his dinners should also stop at this time and any family member sleeping close to him/his room should always wake him up to pee once the person wakes up to pee as well. With time he will outgrow it, it happens.

It's not his fault, you see this thing has different timing for different individuals. I've seen someone that stops bedwetting at 18, another one at 15.
He should ensure to always go to the toilet to empty his bladder before going to bed, there are times he wouldn't feel like, but he needs to just try.
He also shouldn't hold any pee during the day no matter what, he shouldn't let any pee accumulate in his body.
If you notice he is too sad about it though, maybe he should see a doctor.

Bedwetting also called Nocturnal enuresis is majorly caused when the brain is unable to wake a person up, the bladder gives signal at the point at which it needs to be emptied. Inability to wake up to the bladder signals is the main reason for wetting the bed in people.
When the brain can not alert the person once the bladder gives signal then the person bedwets.

What can be done?

-He should avoid caffeinated drinks, energy drink included and any drink that contains alcohol, no matter the alcohol percentage.

-He should avoid late night food, also night drinks. Anything after 6pm, he needs to stop taking fluids and possibly food.

-You could get him a bedwetting alarm which will alert him immediately a leak starts, it's effective in most people and months after they start using the alert, they would begin to wake up on their own without any alarm. It's sold in different stores including online stores.

The most important thing to note is that it's a phase and he will outgrow it,it's not his fault. I stopped at 13 and I've seen someone who stopped as a young adult (in his early 20s), it's now story.

He could take desmopressin for some time. Desmopressin is a tablet or melt that informs your kidneys to generate reduced urine while you are asleep and it works well for some people.
Some may need both bedwetting alarm and desmopressin to get significant result.
However, he needs to consult a doctor first before taking desmopressin, some other group of medicine known as anticholinergics could also be given to speed the effect.
Nevertheless, since he is still a teenager I would say only bedwetting alarm is sufficient together with other cautions like time to eat, drink and the amount of the food and drinks to be taken.

He doesn't need to go as far as taking medications. Medication is more useful young adults, because that could be more embarrassing.

It's just a matter of time, I know someone who got married before she stopped bedwetting but eventually, she stopped, it's a common issue than most people think.

That's freaking serious

That's freaking serious

I know a girl that lives in with her boyfriend and she once confined in me the guy bedwets once in a while, though not often but it happens to him occasionally which means he's yet to finally outgrow it.
I'm talking about a guy in his twenties, they've consulted a doctor and he is under certain measures, the measures are greatly reducing it but it's yet to be finally stopped.
Your brother will soon outgrow the stage.

Incontinence pads and pants is available for all genders. Get him some with bedwetting alarm, it will go a long way.
Although the incontinence pant or underwear would only be absorbing the pee not making it obvious or disturbing others sleeping close to him but the bedwetting alarm will alert him with a loud noise immediately he starts to wee so he could rush to the toilet.

I'm sure he would have tried all these early dinner and little liquid intake methods, those are the first precautions that most people take.

He should try the bedwetting alarm and incontinence underwear this time and see, he will learn to wake up soon by himself after few weeks or few months of using the alarm.

I thought the incontinence pads and underwears are only for girls. Is it available for men too?

If it's a girl, the guy would have left her. It's a guy's turn now and the girl is still with him even living in with him. I hope he doesn't get cured permanently and breaks the girl's heart.

Lol. It's not about gender, callous and selfish people remain so irrespective of gender. If it's the girl that's bedwetting, there are guys that could as well stay with her during the difficult time.
