Take him to see a doctor then a psychologist. I would recommend a blood test, there is a chance he is consuming alcohol on a regular basis. the only time i have ever wet my bed as a teen was when i was really drunk and had a dream that i was going to the toilet.

The answer to that question depends on the circumstances. In the absence of more info I suggest you see a good medical doctor.

Regardless of what the underlying cause is, keep in mind the emotional impact this is probably having on a 15 year old boy. Self esteem is really important at this age.

These might help as well. The better informed you are, the more likely you will find appropriate treatment for you son, and keep him feeling good about himself.

Good luck.

I also wet the bed as a kid. I only had this problem until I was 12, but I did wet the bed. When I was 11 my parents took me to someone who told them that he could cure me. The quack gave my parents some medicine that he said would cure me. Because he was a doctor and because my parents knew how mortified I was they gave it a try. I did eventually stop (I was sleeping so deeply that I dreamed that I was in the bathroom and went.) I know now that it was nature that helped me quit, and NOT anything that quack did. Be careful what you try.

Bed wetting can sometimes be a symptom of sexual abuse. I agree with getting him some professional help.
