Unable to control urination at night

I am asking this for my 70 year old friend. She wets herself at night---2 or 3 times. This doesn't happen during the day. She seems to think a Doctor will be able to help her. One told her she might need to be catheterized at night.

Is there a surgery for this?

She might simply have an uncontrolable bladder that she may not have the ability to control when asleep. There are numerous Rx's available for this condition, so her need of surgery may be premature. Best of luck!

That is good news. Thanks for your response. She has rheumatoid arthritis and colitis ---so glad this could have an easy fix.
