Enuresis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a child wets the bed or involuntarily leaks urine, especially during sleep, at an age when control is already expected, we speak of enuresis. It is a common situation in childhood and can be experienced with family concern.
Enuresis in context: It can be nighttime or also occur during the day, and in many cases it is part of the maturation process of urinary control.
Associated factors: Developmental aspects, family history, sleep habits, and, at times, emotional factors play a role.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician is usually the first point of contact; depending on the case, the pediatric neurologist, the psychologist, or the child psychiatrist may take part. A professional evaluation helps rule out causes and support the family with peace of mind.
