Bedwetting (Enuresis)
Enuresis, or urinary incontinence, is the term for daytime or nighttime wetting. It can either be intentional or involuntary. Although the age when bladder control is achieved varies, most children no longer wet the bed by age 5 or 6. Occasional accidents are common; however, wetting is considering clinically significant when it occurs at least twice a week for three consecutive months. Enuresis is more common in boys than girls.
