Common urological problems in children: primary nocturnal enuresis.

Common urological problems in children: primary nocturnal enuresis. Hong Kong Med J. 2019 Aug 05;: Authors: Chan IHY, Wong KKY Abstract Enuresis is a common complaint in children, with a prevalence of around 15% at age 6 years. Evidence suggests that enuresis could affect neuropsychiatric development. The condition may represent an entire spectrum of underlying urological conditions. It is important to understand the difference between monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic enuresis. Primary monosymptomatic enuresis can be managed efficaciously with care in different settings, like primary care, specialist nursing, or paediatric specialists, while non-monosymptomatic enuresis requires more complex evaluation and treatment. The diagnosis, investigation, and management of the two types of enuresis are discussed in this review. PMID: 31395789 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
