Pathophysiology

Usual Developmental Process

Most bedwetting can be described as, "a bothersome alteration in normal development." [3] The usual development process is:

• Infants: Void by reflex
• One- and two-year olds: Bladder grows larger and the brain develops the ability to sense bladder fullness (McLorie & Husmann, 1987)
• Two- and three-year olds: Develop the ability to void or inhibit voiding
• Four- and five-year-olds: Develop an adult pattern of urinary control
