Question

Today is my 2nd time in a row to wake up to myself peeing. My parents think its due to a cold, since i like sleeping in cold areas.

I'm only fourteen and i'm going to a gifted high school this year.

The same incident happend to me yesturday too at around the same time.

I have been havin trouble sleeping too, and before i go to bed i go to the washroom.

I'm really scared and disgusted! THis never happend to me during my growing up.

About a month ago i went to the doctors for something like this; I peed my pants often whlist laughing hard. He said it was because i haven't been eating enough fibre, but i'm not sure.

Plzzzzz help me!

Answer 1

Stress can cause incontinence, so can a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).  If you are peeing frequently, it burns to pee or you have trouble going pee (but feel the urge to), it is more likely a UTI.  The cranberry juice is great, you can also take a multivitamin with cranberry in it to prevent future infections.  If you are peeing due to stress, then you should make sure to empty your bladder fully before going to bed and set your alarm for about half an hour before when you've peed in the middle of the night so you can get up and go in the toilet.  My daughters both have problems peeing the bed only when they are stressed, like last week because school started this week.  I woke them up in the middle of the night so that I can avoid having to wash their sheets all night.  You can also buy a pack of depends and wear them to bed so it is not as stressful.

If you find that you have a weak bladder, there is a device called a pessory that you can have inserted to help.  There is a disease that your ureters don't empty completely and urine goes back into your kidneys, causing frequent UTIs and issues with incontinence.

Answer 2

i think your parents might be right.  if you are sleeping where it is cold, it can make your kidneys cold, which will make you have to pee. you could however, have a bladder infection, if you cant control it. i would call your doc and pee in a cup, so they can rule out a uti or a bladder infection.  keep your kidneys warm! drink more water and get some pure cranberry juice from a health store..it doesnt taste great, but it helps your baldder.

Answer 3

I think your peeing is less due to the cold than to stress/nerves - very likely because you're going to a gifted high school.  Extreme stress can cause troubles with sleeping, and wetting the bed (even if you never did before).  Unfortunately, this causes you even more stress.  Try to de-stress yourself before bed.  Playing soft music or listening to one of those nature sounds CDs while you're falling asleep may help, or even a warm soaking bath.

As far as peeing your pants when you laugh hard, this is something that happens to a lot of young teenage girls.  Yes, even if you haven't peed your pants in several years.  Your body's changing and these things do happen.  Most girls grow out of it by their middle to late teenage years.  Yes, it's embarrassing when you pee your pants, but any true friend should understand.

And keep positive!  Keep telling yourself "I am attending a gifted high school.  I am worthy!"  Good luck!!

Answer 4

Being stressed about something (regardless of whether the situation is good or bad) can sometimes cause this (an example only).

This can also be an indication that a urinary tract infection could be going on (another example only).

I would recommend getting another opinion (such as from your school nurse) to see what they say.
