Overview:

Nocturnal enuresis, commonly referred to as bedwetting, is a condition characterized by involuntary urination during sleep, often observed in children beyond the age of five. Although its exact cause can be multifaceted, factors such as bladder maturation delay, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predisposition may contribute. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation of medical history and physical examination to rule out underlying conditions. Treatment strategies encompass behavioral interventions, medication, and addressing any underlying causes, aiming to alleviate distress and improve quality of life for affected individuals.

Symptoms & Diagnosis:

Involuntary urination during sleep, typically occurring at least twice a week for three consecutive months in children over the age of five
Wetting of bed linens or clothing, often accompanied by embarrassment or distress
Daytime symptoms such as urgency, frequency, or leaking of urine may also be present in some cases
Physical examination to assess for signs of underlying medical conditions affecting the urinary system or other contributing factors
Urinalysis to detect blood or abnormal cells in the urine
Monitoring bladder function and urine output patterns through bladder diaries or voiding charts may also aid in diagnosis
Staging tests, including additional imaging studies and sometimes blood tests, to determine the extent and spread of the cancer
Evaluation for any associated conditions such as constipation, sleep disorders, or emotional stress
