It’s relatively common and there are treatment options.
When it comes to diagnosis, Dr Delaney says it’s important to take a functional bowel history. “There’s a significant crossover between bladder and bowel dysfunction,” she says. Often in children with constipation or soiling, treatment of the underlying constipation can assist with their symptoms of bedwetting. In addition, a bladder diary is an essential component for nocturnal enuresis assessment.
GPs should know there’s a higher incidence of nocturnal enuresis in children if their parents experience nocturnal bedwetting, with the figure rising to 30% among children who have one parent with nocturnal enuresis and 70% if it’s evident in both parents.
