Enuresis

Enuresis is the child's inability to control micturition during day (clothes-wetting) or night  (bed-wetting) at least 2 times a week during the last 3 months despite the fact that the child is older than 5 years old (both chronological and mental age). Enuresis  is one of the most common disorders of childhood and concerns both children and their families. It usually makes the child experience feelings of shame and awkardness.There are two types of enuresis: Primary and Secondary Enuresis. Primary Enuresis occurs in children who have never managed to control micturition. Secondary Enuresis occurs in children who, although had once achieved urinary control for at least 1 year, later on suddenly started wetting themselves again. 80% of the overal cases are cases of primary enuresis.
