Background: Enuresis is common and considered to be normal among children younger than 3 years of age. Nocturnal enuresis is involuntary passage of urine during sleep among children five years of age or older. It is not a serious health problem, and children usually develop control over the bladder as they grow older but it can be upsetting for children as well as parents. India estimates 7 to 15 % prevalence rate among children and the numbers drop to 3 to 5% by the age of ten years. Objectives were to identify the children with Nocturnal Enuresis and assess their clinical profile. Methods: A descriptive survey was conducted among the children age 05 to 10 years. Data were collected from two villages of Aurangabad district and the information was gathered from parents of 413 with the use of structured questionnaire. The first section included the socio- demographic characteristics of the children and their parents. The second section included variables related to the clinical profile and history of nocturnal enuresis in the family. Results: The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis was 10.91% in which 06.94% were males and 03.97% females. With regard to severity 55% children were found to be in moderate category while 09% belonged to severe category of nocturnal enuresis. Conclusions: The prevalence rate was higher in selected villages. Most of the parents consider nocturnal enuresis as social stigma. Counseling and education of parents would help in improving general health of children in rural area.

“…In India the prevalence is between 7.6% to 16.3% being higher in 5 to 8 years of age and the prevalence decreases as age advances and is lower in 6 to 11 years age group [1,2]. According to the International Children's Continence Society, NE is defined as intermittent urinary incontinence while asleep, at least once a week and during a period of minimum three months, in children >5 years [1]. Enuresis or bladder control is a developmental process closely associated with the maturation of brain functions and the spinal and cortical level of control of bladder along with hormonal control of urinary volume.…”

Introduction: Nocturnal enuresis is a fairly common problem in children. The world -wide prevalence is reported as 1.4% to 28% in children aged 6 to 12 years. In India the prevalence is between 7.6% to 16.3% being higher in 5 to 8 years of age and it decreases as age advances and is lower in 6 to 11 years age group [1,2]. It is a cause of lot of anxiety both in children as well as parents which partly stems from lack of understanding of the normal maturational process of bladder control. Materials and methods: To study the clinico-epidemiological profile of children with enuresis a prospective analytical cohort study was carried out from May 2023 to October 2023. Children above 5 years of age presenting with enuresis in outpatient department were enrolled in the study. After taking informed written consent from the parents, a questionnaire regarding their symptoms was filled followed by a detailed clinical examination. The results thereafter were analysed statistically. Results: maximum age group of presentation was 5 to 7 years with prevalence decreasing with increasing age. Most of the case were non- monosymptomatic enuresis with maximum children having overactive bladder. The prevalence of overactive bladder was also higher in girls than boys with a p value of 0.01. Conclusion: enuresis is a common problem in paediatric age group and a cause of significant stress among children. Most case are non-monosymptomatic where proper identification of the cause can cure enuresis and relieve a lot of stress related to it.

Objective: To evaluate enuresis-induced antiepileptic drugs in children. Data Sources: A PubMed search (1917 to July 2020) was performed using the following keywords and associated medical subject headings: antiepileptic drugs, enuresis, pediatric population, drug-induced enuresis, and epilepsy. Study Selection and Data Extraction: The search was conducted to find the role of antiepileptic drugs–induced enuresis in children in studies published in English. Data Synthesis: Enuresis or bedwetting is an underreported adverse drug reaction of antiepileptic drugs. Owing to that fact, it is a condition that is outgrown with age and also could cause embarrassment. As antiepileptic drugs sometimes need to be taken for a long duration until epilepsy relapses, the occurrence of enuresis in this situation can be troublesome for both the child and the caretaker. Even though enuresis is proposed to have a significant effect on the child’s psychology, it is still considered to be a condition that is outgrown with age. This article includes a review of antiepileptic drugs reported to have caused enuresis in children. Conclusions: If a child develops enuresis as an adverse drug reaction, this adds further challenges to their life. A better understanding of this potential adverse effect may help prevent unwanted stress. Though the exact mechanisms are not known, the hypothesis generated is from the occurred cases, most of which relapsed when the drug was withdrawn. Considering the gravity of epilepsy in children, more detailed studies need to be conducted on this adverse effect to ensure a safe and effective treatment in children.
