ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bed-wetting-also called nighttime incontinence or nocturnal enuresis-is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which staying dry at night can be reasonably expected. Soggy sheets and pajamas-and an embarrassed child-are a familiar scene in many homes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control. In children under age 3, it’s normal to not have full bladder control. As children get older, they become more able to control their bladder. When wetting happens in a child who is old enough to control his or her bladder, it’s known as enuresis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urinary incontinence (enuresis) is the medical term for bedwetting. Incontinence is accidental or intentional urination in children who are at an age where they should be able to have control of their bladders.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enuresis is defined as involuntary or intentional repeated voiding of urine into clothes or bed at least twice a week for a period of three consecutive months in children older than five years old. It is one of the most frequent chronic childhood disorders.

Detailed explanation-5: -The most common cause of childhood bedwetting is a lack of bladder control. Children usually learn to control their bladder between ages 2 to 4. It’s common for children to wet the bed between the ages of 4 to 6 as they grow and adapt to their bodies at their own pace.
