What is it?

Enuresis, or bed wetting, is divided into nocturnal enuresis, which is more common and diurnal enuresis (daytime wetting). In order to be diagnosed, the child might be 5 years old. Another division is for primary and secondary enuresis. A primary enuresis means that the child never fully accomplishes toilet training while secondary enuresis is a condition that develops at least 6 months after a person has learned to control his or her bladder. Involuntary, or unintentional, release of urine may be caused by small bladder, persistent urinary tract infections, severe stress, developmental delay. Voluntary enuresis may be associated with mental disorders such as behavior disorders or anxiety.
