Providing adequate treatment for children with nocturnal enuresis.
Nocturnal enuresis is the most common urological problem in children. With increasing age and persistence of enuresis, children may experience psychological problems. Active treatment is therefore required not only to achieve dryness but also to prevent and treat such an experience. Although nocturnal enuresis has multiple causes, in recent years emphasis has focused on three main causes: lack of arousal, lack of antidiuretic hormone secretion and lack of bladder stability. This article stresses the importance of applying a specific treatment based on this "three system approach" for every child presenting with enuresis.
