What causes someone to pee in the bed constantly?

Question

What causes a person to pee in the bed constantly? Is it a fear of something? Is it the way the person was raised, afraid to go to the bathroom? Or what is it? That sets apart in a person's mind that they can go to the bathroom in the bed rather than knowing in their mind that they shouldn't or can't?

Answer 1

It's because they drink too much liquid a few hours before going to bed. Also, "exercising" (flexing) the muscles down there will strengthen them and may help too.

Answer 2

Bedwetting or Urinary incontinence can result from anatomic, physiologic, or pathologic (disease) factors. Congenital and acquired disorders of muscle innervation (e.g., ALS, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis) eventually cause inadequate urinary storage or control.

Acute and temporary incontinence are commonly caused by the following:

Childbirth

Limited mobility

Medication side effect

Urinary tract infection

Chronic incontinence is commonly caused by these factors:

Birth defects

Bladder muscle weakness

Blocked urethra (due to benign prostate hyperplasia, tumor, etc.)

Brain or spinal cord injury

Nerve disorders

Pelvic floor muscle weakness

Vaginal prolapse

The primary characteristics of these types are as follows:

Stress—urine loss during physical activity that increases abdominal pressure (e.g., coughing, sneezing, laughing)

Urge—urine loss with urgent need to void and involuntary bladder contraction (also called detrusor instability)

Mixed—both stress and urge incontinence

Overflow—constant dribbling of urine; bladder never completely empties

In the elderly, it's usually due to loss of muscle control.  In the young person, it's usually due to psychological factors such as stress and nightmares, or wet dreams.

Answer 3

It could be an emotional issue if it's a young child. Old people who can't get to the bathroom are just incontinent. You didn't say the age of the person.
