Enuresis is a repeated inability to control urination.[2] Use of the term is usually limited to describing people old enough to be expected to exercise such control.[3] Involuntary urination is also known as urinary incontinence.[4] The term "enuresis" comes from the Ancient Greek: ἐνούρησις, romanized: enoúrēsis.
Enuresis has been previously viewed as a psychiatric condition, however, scientific evidence has shown this view to be unsupported through current understanding of the condition and its underlying causes.[5][6]
Management of enuresis varies and includes either mitigation via specialized nightwear or bedding, or identification and correction of the underlying cause, behavioral therapy, and the use of medications.
