laughing=wet pants


Question Posted Monday April 2 2007, 11:18 pm

ok. this is super duper embarassing.

i am 16, female. and i pee my pants when i laugh. like kinda bad. when i start laughing, i just lose control of my bladder. and then its soo hard trying to hide the (sometimes) huge wet spot on my pants. (i also wet the bed, but thats only once every 2-3 months so its not a huge problem)

i have tried using the bathroom like every five minutes: doesnt help AT ALL. i have tried thinking of something sad/not funny when i laugh: doesnt help. i have tried concentrating really hard on not peeing: doesnt help.

my social life has been affected by this: there is this girl i met at camp, and we became really good friends, but she lives like an hour away from me, but she has invited my to visit many times. i really want to, BUT SHE IS HILARIOUS!!!! ahhh!! (oh ya btw summer camp was hell for me: it was fun but also funny -> causes wet pants)

please help me. i am willing to do anything but get diapers (i wear tight jeans) and hang out with serious people. like i am actually a really humourous person myself, and it kills me to be scared to laugh.

HEY MAN!!! I have the exact same problem as you! I totally get what you mean. Your pee just break out uncontrollably like how your laughter goes right? You keep telling yourself nononono stop peeing but it just comes out like a damn waterfall.

People tell me to go and see a doctor bout it but nah, I think it's not much of a health threat. There was once some of the guys in my gym class monkeyed around and it made me laugh so so so hard that my pee literally drooled down my legs. And the shit part is, I think my teacher saw it.

What I usually do is when I laugh too much and start to feel that I'm gonna pee, I cover my eyes and my ears and totally try to block everyone out. Sometimes, I'd laugh and yell "I'm gonna pee, shut up!" just to account for the way I'm reacting. (don't be afraid to let your friends know, it's alright. My frens all know and they all laugh WITH, not at, me for it) I'd sit down or quickly walk away if I can. I tell myself to cool down. Breathe out and cool it. Don't tell yourself "not to pee" cos you are actually still thinking bout peeing.

Try to focus on something else. Normally I'd try to think of something horrible. Like eg, I think bout my grandpa or some relative raping me or some horrible shit. I know that's depressing but it beats a hell out of wetting your pants right.

Also, shift all your attention to something. Eg when you feel that you're gonna pee, look at an object, say a chair. Focus on it and throw everthing else out of your mind. Look at passerbys, look at the way they walk, talk, etc. Look at babies, etc. Shift all your attention to an object and just focus on what it is or what it's doing.

Wearing a pad does help but it's gonna be damn heavy at the end of the day. Try to empty your bladder before gatherings and tell yourself, yes I've emptied already, bring on all the hilarious stuff. Don't go to the bathroom every five minutes man, don't overstress your bladder.

Hmm..meanwhile, maybe we should really try to see a doc and see what's wrong with us. Anyways, good luck to you. Surprised to see that there's someone like me too! Haha! =D

Hey. It sounds as if you have a condition called "overactive bladder" that or you just have a very small bladder. I would make an appointment with your doctor and see what he reccomends. There are commercials for pills to help with problems like these such as Detrol LA and after running some tests, your doctor will be able to perscribe one that is good for your condition. Don't try anything without notifying your doctor or pharmicist because some of the fad pills wont help your condition ,they'll just ruin your health. As for your social life, nobody has to know. Just go to school prepared with extra jeans and underwear. If theres a problem go into the bathroom and change. True friends won't judge you especially if they know theres something wrong. Good luck and I hope I helped ♥ fabulous

Hi.

I'm not a doctor, so I can be wrong. But I think you have overactive bladder. There is a medicine that you can take to stop/help it.

You should try seeing a doctor, even though you don't want to because its so embarassing. But she/he is a doctor, and it doesn't bother them.

The other person had a good idea, Try wearing a pad. But than could get little uncomfortable after a while.

Seriously, talk to you mom and tell her you want to get a doctors appointment. Ask your doctor about overactive bladder and see what she/he can do about it.

you might have a bladder infection.That is when you pee a little more then you should.Bladder infections happen when bacteria from outside your body gets into the bladder somehow.You can get that infection from not wiping yourself after going to the bathroom and staying unclean down there.It can be treated by antibiotics BUT first thing you must MUST do is see a doctor to make sure if you really DO have a bladder infection.

hey , i think what you should do is maybe wear a pad
that will catch most of the pee but if it doesnt then tell your mom to take a visit to the doctor
its just a bladder thing
most people go through this

I can see as laughing hard enough will make you pee on yourself, but I think you've got an overactive bladder. I'd see a doctor about it.
