ABSTRACT

Bedwetting is a common, but socially disruptive and stressful condition, in school age children; with a prevalence rate of 15–20% at age 5, 8–10% at age 6, 3–4% at age 10 and 1–2% in young adults, without any significant difference between countries and cultures [1–5]. Two thirds experience monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (mainly boys) and one third suffer from voiding disorder (mainly girls), sometimes leading to persistent troubles toward adulthood. This chapter will focus on monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.
