17 and still wet the bed!?

I still wet the bed and im 17, nearly 18. I want it to stop! When I was younger I wet the bed but not often, then when I was 7 I was raped, and it started happening more often. Then when I was 11 it stopped for a good year. Then more trauma happened and since then I haven't been able to stop wetting the bed. I just dont know what to do, im so tired of it and its so embarrassing, and im tired of doing laundry all the time. (I usually wet the bed 3-5 times a month or sometimes 3 times a week)

    It sounds psychological to me...talk to a psychologist or a psychiatrist...I'm sure they could help. Good luck!

    There are pediatric therapists that are great for this stuff. You are probably repressing some major stuff in your unconscious, and it’s manifesting as bedweeting. Your primary care doctor/nurse practioner can also help give you tips on reducing bed wetting. They will definitely recommend therapy, but will also probably encourage you to “train” your bladder; no caffeine past 4pm, go to the bathroom twice before bed (for example, if your bed time is at 10pm; go to the bathroom at 8pm and again at 9/9:30). No liquids past a certain time. Go to the bathroom more during the day. Etc

    You may need to see a urologist. There may be some damage to the area that is causing you to be unable to control your bladder properly at nite.
