Hi C. C. – this must be very upsetting for you. A return to nighttime and daytime wetting at your age really needs to be investigated further by your doctor so it is important that you speak with your parents and ask them to make an appointment for you as soon as possible. I’m sure the only reason your parents have suggested you wear absorbent pants is to avoid any potential embarrassment associated with wet pants, particularly when you are at school. In order to treat your wetting effectively it is important to identify the cause. Medical conditions include things like urinary tract infections or diabetes that do require medical treatment. While physical causes are rare, it is always important to rule these out first. Stress can also lead to nighttime or daytime wetting. Things like school tests, bullying, and fights with friends are all causes of stress and may result in nighttime wetting for some children.

Regards,
Dr Cathrine
