      Hi Paplidor,

      Another great question. There are two types of bedwetting: primary (as in children) and secondary (as in people that had stopped bewetting but resume).

      Primary bedwetting is mainly due to one’s inability to control their bladder among other reasons, and it it normal. Secondary bedwetting may be a hint to an underlying health issue. I know a friend’s brother who resumed bedwetting at form two because he was depressed about losing his mom and their dad marrying another wife…
