ABSTRACT
Nocturnal enuresis is a common childhood problem which affects around 15-25% of 5 year olds and upto 2% of young adults. The etiology is multifactorial and a number of theories have been proposed. Studies indicate a hereditary basis for nocturnal enuresis. A detailed history, relevant physical examination and urinalysis is important for evaluation. Non-pharmacological treatment is preferred due to a high success rate and no potential adverse effects. A positive approach by the physician is necessary to enhance the motivation of the family and the child in the treatment
