Question

i want to help my friend who wets the bed and sometimes wets herself in school. she is 14 and has mentioned once that she had nipple rashes occassionaly. she wants help but i'm not a doctor so i dont know how to help her. she constntly wets her bed and is very worried about it and so am i! she needs help!

Answer 1

She needs to see a doctor...sometimes bed-wetting is just a psychological thing but other times it's a physical thing... could be a UTI (urinary tract infection) as well as kidney problems or a inflamed bladder... a number of things.  Needs to get checked out from a doctor.  

If she is scared of a doctor tell her this, I am a 20 year old and a few months ago I wet the bed for the first time since i was prob like 5... and I went to the doctor and had a kidney infection that started from an un noticed UTI... If i had waited another 2 3 weeks the doctor said i might have been forced to get a kidney transplant... that is hard to get, and than you have to get Dialysis. I don't want to scare you or her, just making it known that these things can happen and it's not embarrassing, you need to get it check out.  It won't go away on it's own.

hope all is okay...

Answer 2

She is however very concerned tht u have nuthink better to do with your time apart from make up silly little lies about your mates!!

Answer 3

definetly time to go to the doctor, especially with it being such a sensitive subject.

Answer 4

She needs a nice doctor to talk to. Preferably a female that is nice and understanding.

She may have a physical problem that needs to be addressed.

If it's not physical, she may be terribly afraid or upset about something. That can cause bedwetting.

Either way, I would send her to the doctor

Answer 5

Has she been to a Dr. because she may be diabetic or something of the sort.  She could try a wrist alarm to wake her up at night to use the bathroom.  If she sometimes wets at school, maybe she could wear a pad-like Poise pads from Depends.  Here is an article about teen bedwetting-http://massgeneral.org/children/adolesce...

Good luck to her and I definately think she should see a Dr.
