What is the reason for suddenly wetting the bed at the age of 21?

Patient's question:

I am 21 years old and currently in my second year of college. Yesterday, when I woke up, I found that my mattress was wet and so was my pants. Then I realized that I might have wet the bed. But at 21, suddenly wetting the bed makes me feel very scared. I don't know if there is something wrong with my body and whether I need to go to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. If this is the case, it may be due to a urinary tract infection or some disease in the urinary system, or it could be a phenomenon of nocturnal emission. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a urinalysis and a urinary system ultrasound examination. Additionally, pay attention to local hygiene and cleaning, change underwear more frequently, and avoid wearing tight underwear and heavy bedding. These are all things that can be improved.
