Eneuresis/Bedwetting

Bedwetting

RSS Feeds   Text 

Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) is involuntary voiding of urine during sleep at least three times a week in a child aged 5 years or older. It is a common worldwide problem affecting both boys and girls below 16 years. It can be a distressing experience for the child and may lead to loss of self-esteem and isolation.


Children fear being discovered and are afraid to go to relatives' or friends' house. Although most parents are supportive, up to 30% parents become intolerant towards their child.
