Products and services My husband has started to wet the bed at night. What causes adult bed-wetting? Should we be concerned about this? Answer From Patricio C. Gargollo, M.D. Bed-wetting that starts in adulthood (secondary enuresis) is uncommon and requires medical evaluation. Causes of adult bed-wetting may include:
A treatment plan can be made based on: Physical exam. Discussing symptoms, fluid intake, family history, bowel and bladder habits, and problems caused by bed-wetting. Urine tests to check for signs of an infection or diabetes. X-rays or other imaging tests of the kidneys or bladder to look at the structure of the urinary tract.
Your bed-wetting may also be due to conditions that affect your body's ability to store and hold urine. For instance, bladder cancer and prostate cancer can cause it.
Bedwetting, or nocturnal enuresis, refers to involuntary urination during sleep. It's common in children, especially those under seven years old. Most children outgrow this condition as they age and gain better control over their bladder. However, sometimes, bedwetting can be a symptom of underlying physical or emotional issues.

And while it can be frustrating and emotionally draining for both you, and your teen, most of the time, they will grow out of it.
A blockage or obstruction in the kidneys or urinary tract may lead to temporary adult bed-wetting, says Dr. Kim.
