Nocturnal Enuresis "Bed Wetting"

Who has it?

Boys are 2-3 times more likely to wet the bed than girls are. Fifteen to twenty-five percent of five year old children have multiple episodes of nocturnal enuresis. For every year after the age of five, 14% of children who had been wetting the bed stop. Although the chance is slim, nocturnal enuresis can last up to and through adolescence and adulthood.
