Adult Male 26 incontance problem

Hi there I have a concern, I have had this problem for at least 2 years may be more cant remmember how long exactly. Basically im a Male, 26, and live in a home. I have a problem with my bladder ie urinary since I went into a mental health hospital on section after trying to take my life. Ever since I was diagnose with depression, anixety as well I also have Pulmonry Valve Atresia (Heart Conditon), I also have learning disabilty as well which is mild. My sister died when she was 18 years old and hence my mental health problems kicked in. Back to the bladder problem, at night for about 2 years ive been having accidents at night and im embarresed to tell my staff and alsoi ive tryed everything I can think of ie even not drink so much before bed and during the day but then I struggle to swollow sometimes and scared thats why i drink alot of fluid. I empty my bladder before bed some times work sometimes dont. Just stuck in what to do and whats wrong with me? I have been to my local GP but they was rubbish and focked it off. I try telling the owners here but they said its because I drink too much which I do I try cutting down but because of my swolling problems im scared and worried! What shall I do? This is genuine and im not attention seeking or nothing like that so please dont be horrible about it, it took me guts to write this. Thanks any advice be appricated.

Hello leepafc,

Please excuse my very tardy response to your questions and concerns. They are important to us. I have had a difficult few weeks and have been unable to be here as often as I would like.... sorry.

I am also very sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. I know the pain of losing a dearly loved family member and my heart goes out to you.

I understand your concern and embarrassment. You're pretty young to have a prostrate issue but it could be a possibility. Have you consulted a urologist? They are the specialist in the field. There may be nothing wrong but it can't hurt to have it checked.

How much water/liquids do you consume in a day? Certainly too many liquids can cause one to have to urinate during the night. The question in my opinion is why is this not waking you? Are you on medications that make you extra sleepy? That could be a contributing factor.

I hope you are still monitoring this site and I again apologize for my tardy response.

I'll look forward to your updates.

Take Care,
~Tuck
