There are some adults (relatively young, healthy adults) who suffer with incontinence. I don't know if this is a "disease", but bladders certainly malfunction just like any other part of the body. I have had what I consider an overactive bladder since my early teen years. I have to know where a bathroom is whenever I go somewhere new. It's very frustrating. In fact, when I was pregnant with my kids, that was probably the worst part about being pregnant (aside from morning sickness)- having to go the bathroom ALL the time. I swear I was in tears many times because of it.

No it is not a disease. There can be several different medical reasons for it but it is not a disease. It can be due to a small bladder for the age, it could be due to something wrong with the kidneys, or the urethra. It can be due to infections as well but that is different then saying bed wetting is a disease.

commmon bed wetting is not a disease....cool it...it is just that the person pees when he is in his sleep or in his dreams..may have to be something in his sub conscious mind.
