I am kinda of concerned by my bf as wet the bed 3 times in teh past year. granted it is not all the time. and it is really just those three times, but i am still concerned. i was looking online and foudn stuff about UTI or other disordrs, but i havent been able to find out frequent bed wetting is with these disorders. of course he doesnt want to talk about it, but i guess he had a problem as a child where he did see a doctor. I think i have finally convinced him to go seek treatment, but im scared that could be sumething neurological-i guess thats why i get when u try to self diaganois.. but is this an issue found in alot of adults??
anyone have advice?

Adult bed-wetting is uncommon and should be evaluated by a doctor. It's also called "sleep enuresis". Possible causes of this condition might include sleep apnea, diabetes, congestive heart failure, diabetes, seizures, depression, UTIs and/or severe psychological stress. Although it's taboo, I suggest that you encourage your BF to seek medical help. This could indicate something larger than just a UTI.
