Overview
Enuresis is the involuntary urination beyond the age of anticipated control. The two major forms of enuresis are diurnal enuresis (or daytime wetting), and nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting or nighttime wetting). Enuresis impacts the child and has a major psychosocial burden on the entire family as well.
Historical Perspective
- Enuresis has been a major social problem since ancient times.
- Initially enuresis was considered a manifestation of psychiatric disturbance. It has been followed by the clearer theory of maturational delay with the role of hereditary factors. [1]
- After multiple studies, it has been found that enuresis may be the cause and not the result of a psychiatric disorder.[2]
- As early as 1550 BC, the problem of childhood incontinence was described in the Ebers papyrus.[3]
- Prayers became an important supplemental component of the treatment options in the middle ages.
- Belladonna, camphor, opium, and ergot were administered to enhance the bladder muscle tone in the eighteenth century.[3]
- In 1948, a direct conditioning based treatment modality called the alarm or bell-and-pad system was introduced.[3]
- Initially, psychotherapy was accepted as the only possible method to treat enuresis, and there was a lot of skepticism about the conditioning treatment. [1]
Classification
- Enuresis is broadly divided in two types: Daytime wetting and nocturnal enuresis.[4]
Pathophysiology
Some of the underlying factors in the pathophysiology are:[5]
- Altered antidiuretic hormone profile
- Arousal failure
- Delayed bladder maturation
Differential Diagnosis
- Medication side effects
- Neurogenic bladder[6]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
The prevalence of enuresis is:
- 5,000-10,000 per 100,000 (5%-10%) among children 5 years of age
- 3,000-5,000 per 100,000 (3%-5%) among children 10 year of age
- 1,000 per 100,000 (1%) among children 15 years of age or older[6]
Risk Factors
- Delayed or lax toilet training
- Genetic predisposition
- Psychosocial stress[6]
