For some young children bladder control is more difficult to achieve at night - enuresis, commonly known as bed-wetting, has been discussed by physicians since the days of Galen and Hippocrates.
Nocturnal enuresis, or bed-wetting, is one of the most prevalent and persistent sleep problems in children.
Secondary nocturnal enuresis is when a child has accidental wetting after having had bladder control for six or more months.
Bedwetting, called enuresis, is the involuntary discharge of urine during sleep.
However, despite parental beliefs, enuretic children are not more difficult to waken than their peers without enuresis.
Parents have to know more about nocturnal enuresis or adult bedwetting.
