Has trouble flushing the toilet after use.  He's 16.  What should I do to train him?  Or, what kind of punishment can I give him until he "gets it?"  Is he suffering from a mental disorder?  Or does he just love to look at his urine festering in the toilet?

i would make him clean the toilet and the whole bathroom for that matter everytime you catch him not flushing. but he's a teenager I'm sure he has a lot of things he likes to do, take them away from him till he gets the picture.....but i personally like the whole clean the toilet thing....not just the inside either....I'm talking about the whole dang thing.....behind,beside, in the crevaces and all!!  DETAIL IT!

Patience and dilagence on your part make sure you get him up to go before you go to bed if you go to bed fairly early set your alarm to get up around 1 am amnd have him get up to go he will get it eventually as long as his peditrician has found no other reason for this My daughter has a small bladder and this helped her tremendosly within 2 weeks we no longer had wet beds

Why don't you buy him a bar of soap right now?? seriously, tell him that this one works great for you because his seems to fail "after a long day in class" tell him politely , in a quiet moment where nobody else sees it. He is most likely aware of this problem.

The problems of old age  and a bad memory fidgety!\nThe first sign of it is forgetting to do up your zip after having a pee.The second sign is forgetting to pull it down before you have a pee!\nWhat's pink,smells of pee and goes in,out,in,out?\nGranny doing the hokey-cokey.\n\nEven though I'm old,I've definitely still got it.\nTrouble is,nobody wants it!

Have your friend try the cleansing wipes.  My son is adamant about using them now.  They can be flushed too.  Greatest thing since sliced bread.\n\nToo, Charmin (I think) has a toilet using (like cleanup and such) packet with hints and tips, samples and a sticker chart to help little bums get cleaned up.\n\nGood luck to her.

Take her to a urologist. She does indeed have a problem! Also, the best thing you can do for her is to make her start and stop peeing several times EACH TIME she goes to the bathroom. This strengthens the muscles. Also, keep in mind she might be doing it for psychologic reasons.

He doesn't seem to be able to bath himself, maybe you need to do it for him.\n\nYes it is a illness, it's called lazyass.

This was the hardest period of my life. :)  There really is no right or wrong answer for this issue.  I tried everything when my daughter was the same age.  I tried stickers, treats and I even promised her a BIG surprise if she went in the potty every time.  All that and no results.  My babysitter told me (and she has 3 girls) that the have to be able to pull the pants up and down by themselves before you should even try to potty train them.  So, I took her advice and waited until she was almost three and she started doing it.  There were little accidents still (on occasion) but all in all it worked.  Every child is different and the only true answer is-Keep trying every once in a while (don't force her) and all at once she will do it on her own.

My brother had this when he was born. ( he is 15 now by the way )\n\nMy mum and dad where devastated at the time as we had never even heard of this condition. The doctors reassured my mum how common it was and that his (my brother ) was not as serious as some others. His penis was normal but his 'pee' hole was on the underneath instead of at the end.......some boys have have many holes......not sure how bad your boys is....\n\nAnyway, they could not operate until he was about 12-15months and he was only in overnight. After the op he was fine and his hole was in the right place..........his penis did look different tho, he looked like he had been circumcised ( the skin was pulled back ) But they say this is cleaner for a boy anyway.\n\nCan I just say this has never bothered my brother in any way...........I'm not even sure he knows about it actually happening to be honest!\n\nYour son will be fine, I know it's distressing but he will be fine.\n\nGood luck!

Bed wetting is not that uncommon for boys to age 12, especially if there is a family history of it. The actual name for it is enuresis.  I have first hand knowledge of that, I had the same problem. You may try to limit his liquid intake for a few hours before bed time.  The "junk food" is not good for him though.  Too much fat, sodium, and starch.  It raises cholesterol and can lead to high blood pressure.  Not to mention obeseity and all the problems that go with that.  In class, and at his atudies, he may be bored or it may be something else. Yes, I think it would be wise to see a mental health professional. Good luck with your very special child!

I think you have to realize the most quality people aren't going to be hanging around parking lots late at night.\n\nThis is indeed frustrating, and I can understand your anger, I would feel the same way.\n\nIt's difficult to say, for if you called the police, 1. would they show up in time? and 2. would the guy know it was you (since you were clearly the only one around to witness this late at night) who reported him and seek revenge?\n\nI think the best way to deal with it is to try your best to get rid of the stain.  I'd try Johnny Kat kitty litter, it is known by auto mechanics as a great way to get rid of oil spills on concrete, because it has a higher absorbency capacity than concrete.  Also try Kaboom or OxyClean, which are both good at removing organic stains.  Then there's the more expensive UrineGone (this is a real product) which is specifically to remove urine stains almost anywhere.\n\nHe probably doesn't live around there, or he'd use his own toilet.  My bet is he was drunk, further reason not to mess with him in the middle of the night without expecting some retaliation.  It stinks you had to deal with this.  If I could plan ahead for the next episode of this, I'd try hosing him down with a water hose.  It will jar him enough to stop what he's doing, plus start the cleaning process already.  Also, it's not illegal, but annoying.  Good luck!

Tell him not to worry, it is surprisingly common, my son went through this recently.  The condition can last up to a year, and is primarily connected to puberty.\nI know it will be tough, lots of boys may take the mickey, but he just has to get through it.  With a good mate there for him he should be ok.

well, could he just have 'smaller' wash during the first few days until he's strong enough to get out of the bath himself..? If not, then tell him what the situation is, does he prefer to have you or one of his friends to help him.  Or the option is to stay in the bath until the fire crew come and help him :) I personallly would listen to him, what his suggestion is.

This can occur with several different bladder/urinary conditions.  He needs to see a physician, a urologist would be best, to diagnose the exact condition.  I would advise him not to wait because some of these conditions could worsen over time if left untreated and he could end up hospitalized.

Try using BETADINE solution for washing the vagina anytime she goes to toilet.Consult a Gynecologist as your friend may have some fungal or other kind of infection...

if he's yr fiance you should be able to talk to him about it...Has it always happened, if it itches or does he still feel like he has to pee after he's done peeing? Talk about it... and humans can contract things from years ago and they just don't feel it's THAT bothersome so they live with it and it can become "Normal" for them.  But you need to have it checked out for both of you... You want to be healthy and you want yr man to be healthy!  No blaming, no accusing (like some of the responses  your gonna get)
