hi everyone,
i have a 8 year old boy. the past week he has been waking up saying that he thinks he peed his self but his pants arent wet just underwear. the only thing i can think of is wet dreams. these afternoon he said the same thing and i just told him to change, but he is only 8, isnt these young? or if it isnt that then what can it be? and how do i talk to him about this? please help i am speechless on these subject!!!!!!

I tend agree that it shouldn't be wet dreams ,but he could have urine retaining in his urethra that escapes later. He might have this escape shortly after using the toilet. Some boys do not use their ejaculatory muscles to squease all their urine out of their urethra and this urine can stay in there until he lays down or coughs. If he uses these muscles imediately after his bladder is empty, he will have a "last squirt or two come out" and if he uses the muscles again he will have his urethra completely empty when no more dribbles come out. Some boys do not have this muscle control and though it seems automatic for some it seems to take years for others to figure it out.

wet dreams only start with sexual maturity. 8 is TOO young for this to happen.

hi
if your sayin its only his underwere n not his pants is could possibly be wet dreams. wet dreams are caused with the lack of mastbating and lack of sex. having wet dreams can start from any age. it is possible wet dream and the only way 2 stop having wet dreams is either having sex or mastabating

Hi,
I doubt that it is a wet dream but an easy way to tell is if it has the smell of urea then it is probably  pee.If he is doing it while sleeping then he may be peeing but realizes it and stops. If he is doing it while awake then there may be some other issue.
Good luck.
