Our dog wet the bed again while he was sleeping last night. Should I be worried or thinking about something medical?

Last night, our dog wet his bed again while he was sleeping, and this is not the first time it's happened recently. We're starting to wonder if there might be a medical reason for this, like a urinary issue or something else. Should we be concerned about this behavior and consider taking him to the vet for a check-up?
