Enuresis, commonly referred to as bedwetting, is the involuntary voiding of urine during sleep in children aged five years or older. It is a frequent pediatric condition, affecting approximately 10% of 7-year-olds, with a natural decline in prevalence as children age. The monosymptomatic form—where bedwetting occurs without daytime urinary symptoms—is the most common. Although often benign, enuresis can be associated with comorbidities such as constipation, sleep-disordered breathing, psychiatric conditions, and urinary tract infections.
