nocturnal enuresis
Nocturnal enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, is a condition where a person involuntarily urinates during sleep. It primarily affects children but can also occur in adolescents and adults. This condition is often considered normal in young children, as many outgrow it by age five.
The causes of nocturnal enuresis can vary and may include genetic factors, deep sleep patterns, or issues with bladder control. Treatment options range from behavioral strategies to medical interventions, depending on the severity and underlying causes. Support from parents and healthcare providers is essential for managing this condition effectively.
