Is there something that can be done for a relatively young person who sometimes urinates uncontrollably?

I know it's horribly embarrassing, but she really should see a doctor. Incontinence (in varying degrees) is VERY common. There are different kinds and different causes. Many are treatable. Some are indicators of other, more serious problems. Check out the website below for more complete information. And tell her she's not alone.

COME OOON YOU ARE LUCKY TO FIND ME\n\n\nI let my son go with out a diaper for 2 days he didnt like the wet feeling of peeing on himself... After the 2nd day I took him shopping for "big boy" underware and he wanted to wear spiderman and batman not a plain white diaper... we still have a few accidents but that is expected... like someone said "it doesn't happen over night."

Dude...you need to put down whatever you're using on yourself and get to the nearest hospital, pronto! That could totally mess with not only your sexual function, but your ability to urinate normally. And even though I'm a girl, I'm sure it must hurt like h**l!

For standing up, throw a few cheerios in the commode for target practice. Kinda' makes a game of the process.\n\nFor sitting down, remind him that mom and dad don't pee-pee in their pants. Make a big deal when you are going to the bathroom and soon it will be a big deal to him, it's downhill from there.

You are young and it will fluxuate for a while longer.  You might also talk to your doc to see the medicinal options that may give you more control and regularity.

There is an exercise called Kegel. Her is a link to it. My whole (female portion) family does this because weak bladders run in the family. None of the "Kegelers" in my family have problems but the "non-Kegelers" do.

drink volumes of water,take a little niacin,and drink a little vinegar. When I say drink water--I mean drink 5 gallons as quickly as you can. You want to pee 50 times in a couple days. Be sure to eat well,or take vitamins so that your pee is not completely invisible

You have low bladder control, you should probably see a urologist, something serious could be causing it, otherwise there is medication you can take to help with that.

If it is an adult, consult your doc. It could be a sign of a more serious problem. For children,do not have them drink at least 2 hrs before bed, and make sure they empty bladder completely before getting into bed for the night.

Spiked kneecaps would be cool, but If it can be done by drinking milk and willing it ,then I must not have that Kind of willpower.\nI know the Human mind can creat many wonders,like unusual strength in an emergency situation, but the things you mention are just too far out there for me to believe ..

yes it can be done as long as the person doing does not have the gag reflex like their going to puke.

My friend's son is a quad r/t a car accident. He has a low blood pressure all the time but I never heard of him complain of any head itching. He had a lot of bladder problems, like frequent infections, then they clipped the urinary spincter so he can wear a condom catheter at all times, instead of an indwelling urinary catheter. Urine constantly leaks into the condom cath.  He still has infections but not as many. The problem with them doing this is that if he ever was able to have a sex life, which he still has the desire to do, then it is a problem with urine constantly leaking out. He was only 16 when this accident happened, now he's 25, and he had never experienced sex.  He can't even cough and remove secretions on his own whenever he gets a cold .Really it's so sad & he amazes me with his positive attitude. He is able to do a little with his hands and move his arms, but not able to perform fine motor movements. He can use a special fork to feed himself, and can use a device placed on his hand to type on the computer. He dials the phone with his tongue and answers it the same way, with a special device on the phone that helps him hook it on his hand. He went to college and got a degree in computer programming a couple of years ago but hasn't been able to get employment yet. Another thing I hear him complain about is muscle spasms for which he takes medications These can occur if he changes position, exposed to temperature changes & sometimes for no reason. He takes medication for that and something to prevent bladder/kidney infections. That's all the meds that I know of that he takes. I hope this info helps. These are things I saw first hand and things he talked to me about.

If you're worried about absorbtion, you might want to look into products like Vitamin Water, which make absorbtion easier due to being in liquid form when ingested.\n\nAlso realize that not all vitamins and minerals are the same.  Some are classified as "fat-soluble" and other are "water-soluble."  For example, Vitamin C is "water-soluble" and so will dissolve in water more easily.  Because of this, you will lose some every time you urinate.  There's no way around this, and this is why it may be better to spread out ingestion of supplements throughout the day instead of all at once in the morning (don't take any at night if you have trouble going to sleep).

He's probably on it for bed-wetting.  It is an antidepressant, but it's not usually used for that purpose anymore as other drugs have since been developed that are more effective... but it is still used for bedwetting.   Apparently it causes the smooth muscle wall of the bladder to relax so that it can stretch to hold more urine without the need to urinate being as intense.  I took it for bedwetting when I was that age also, it's not 100% perfect, but it does help... although it isn't a cure, it just helps you get through the night when you take it, until your bladder grows enough to keep from wetting the bed on its own.\n\n   Good luck, I hope your nephew is able to grow out of it soon!

Depends on how old she is.\n\nIf she is school aged, you need to talk to the doc. Sometimes there is a medical problem for it.  Sometimes it is has to due with their sleep patterns.  Sometimes it is a result of emotional or physical abuse by someone.\n\nIf she is is younger than school aged, it can be pretty normal.\n\nWhat I would do is set a cut off time for drinking, in our house until they can go through the night without wetting ... we stopped allowing drinks after 6pm.  This gave plenty time for them to empty their bladder completely before bed time.  No drinks at bed time.\n\nPlastic mattress protectors under her sheets will save you a lot of hassle.  Depending on her age, you can have her clean up her mess.  Make her take the sheets off, but them in the wash, clean off the matress, etc.\n\nIf she is a toddler, you can try putting a training potty in her bedroom with a night light next to it.  Maybe she gets disoriented and can't find her way to the bathroom or gets scared.

Pediatrician will refer you to a urologist. He will probably need surgery to increase the opening. Get this taken care of right away.
