Bed wetting with a uterine proapse

It's good practice to not drink any water two hours before you go to bed to prevent leakage during the night. I used to have urine incontinence and I had to stick by this rule. You might benefit from a bladder training program to re-teach the bladder when it's okay to go. I did this over a three-week period starting at 30 minute intervals and increasing from there.

What is your diet like and are you taking any medications that are diuretics? That could be causing issues.

And as many others on the forum would say- posture, posture, posture!!! Get that uterus up and behind the pubic bone and it will pull the bladder with it, elongating the urethra and reducing strain on the organ.

I have a urethral prolapse and a rectocele. I no longer have any incontinence issues due to posture, diet change, and bladder training.

I have the more profound uterine prolapse, and I can tell you getting it up over the pubic bone and getting it to stay there is not all that easy. In a year and a half of doing this work diligently, just keeping the cervix inside has been enough for me, with a few times of getting it to stay up over the pubic bone. There are a few long standing members that have been able to do this, and it took them many years to do it. I am on that journey, but I am not under any false hope of keeping it there permanently. This is management for many of us.
I also do not have incontinence with my profound uterine prolapse, and am wondering if the heaviness of the fibroids could be coming into play here. I do have some heaviness that presses on the bladder when the cervix is low, but jiggling and firebreathing seem to take care of that. In bed, there is no pressure at all, on anything.
There have been many very good posts on night time urinary incontinence on here that are worth looking up and reading.
Here is one thread I found: https://wholewoman.com/forum/node/2053
But, there are more, just takes some research.

Hi Trumper, is this a one-time occurrence or something that happens from time to time? As AG says, the prolapse itself is probably not the cause if it's happening when you are lying down. I have some misgivings about larougefille's suggestion of bladder re-training. This involves holding your pee even when you need to go, in an effort to gradually "stretch" the capacity of your bladder. I fear this isn't good for the urinary tract, nor for prolapse (a heavy bladder isn't what you're after) or your nerves either! I could be wrong and I welcome other opinions on this.

I'm not a big fluid guzzler, especially not at night, but if you are, then I agree cutting back would be good to try, as would getting up during the night to "go" even if it means setting an alarm. We get a lot more fluids from our foods than many people realize, so there is no need to overdo with that, unless you live in the desert!

Let us know how you're doing with WW posture. - Surviving

Whoops, did not mean to suggest you hold your bladder when you have to go! Before I started the training I was going every ten minutes and leaking in between. It was such a scary experience. I have a very small bladder (that every single doctor who has ever given me an ultrasound has commented on... never heard a bladder called cute until I was in the ER) so I can't hold large amounts anyway. Sometimes our brains get the signals mixed up, especially when we've been having incontinence issues. Bladder training is simply trying to re-learn when the bladder is actually full vs when it's just urgency. I went pretty fast because I'm young and can rebound well, but I know there are a lot of good guides online for using bladder training to decrease incontinence symptoms over time (depending on what kind you have). It's worth a look! But always do what feels right for you.

Apparently I have the opposite problem and usually cannot empty my bladder fully. I have tried the positions suggested in the book but have found leaning back more helpful for me than leaning forward. Guess everyones organs are not positioned the same. Still, I rarely get the feeling that I have emptied my bladder. Now I'm concerned about urinary infections. Had one a couple months ago and am afraid it it might be coming my way again. Help! I don't know what to do about this. I can live with the prolapse but can't keep taking antibiotics.

What type of prolapse do you have, Joy? Hands and knees does not work for you? - Surviving

No one has ever given me a name like I see on this website for my prolapse but I'm told it's my bladder followed by my uterus. I checked out some home remedies for urinary infection and decided I haven't been drinking enough water. I eat quite a bit of fresh pineapple, blueberries, and usually have cranberry juice on hand. Upping the water seems to help.
