Bed-wetting during sleep is the most common urological issue observed in children. Also known as Sleep Enuresis or Nocturnal Enuresis, it affects about 10-20% of children aged 5-6 years. It is estimated that 80-110 million children worldwide have enuresis, which is more common in first-born children and boys than girls. There is also a higher chance of a child having enuresis if the parents had a similar problem or a family history of the condition. Enuresis is only considered a disorder if it continues for approximately one year, and the child is at least 5 years old. It is primary enuresis if it has been present since birth and secondary enuresis if it starts between the ages of 5-8 years. Bed-wetting can affect a child’s self-esteem, and treatment is recommended. Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) is when a child wets the bed only at night and has no other urological issues. MNE must be distinguished from children who have both night-time incontinence and daytime symptoms such as urgency, frequency or incontinence. Approximately 25% of children who attain initial night-time dryness by the age of 12 years, relapse and wet for a period averaging 2.5 years. The spontaneous resolution rate for nocturnal enuresis is 15% per year, and by the age of 15, it persists in only 1% of the population. MNE is a symptom rather than a disease, and there is no single explanation for this symptom. A variety of factors such as behavioural, genetic, developmental, neurologic, psychological, urodynamic and organic causes have been proposed. Investigations and treatments along these lines are both inappropriate and unrewarding because most children with MNE do not have psychiatric, neurologic or urological disturbances. A variety of treatment modalities have been used to treat nocturnal enuresis. However, their effectiveness, even in control studies, has been difficult to assess because of the high spontaneous resolution rate and the extremely high placebo improvement effect. Therapy generally follows two lines – drug therapy and behavioural modification. Parents have different attitudes and expectations about bed-wetting and its cure.
