Abstract

Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem in children. It has significant psychological impacts on both children and families. Nocturnal enuresis refers to an inability to hold urine during sleep at night. The cause of nocturnal enuresis may result from several related factors. The evaluation requires a thorough history, a complete physical examination, a voiding diary, and an appropriate investigation. Treatment can be tailored according to the patient’s underlying cause. In the present study, the author aimed to assemble etiologies, diagnosis evaluation, modalities of treatment, and general information about nocturnal enuresis.
