Diagnosis and management of nocturnal enuresis.
Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem occurring in 15% of children at 5 years of age. Although usually self-limiting, justification for early treatment is founded in the psychological impact on the child. The physician's role in treating enuresis is first to rule out structural causes for enuresis. After this has been done, the physician can tailor an enuresis treatment program for the child and family.
