The enuresis alarm methodology originated from French and German physicians in the first decade of the 20th century. Meinhard von Pfaundler, a German pediatrician made the discovery accidentally, with the original intention to create an alarm device that would notify nursing staff when a child had bed wetting and needed to be changed, showing the device to have a significant therapeutic ...
Type 1 diabetes mellitus can first present as nocturnal enuresis. It is classically associated with polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia; weight loss, lethargy, and diaper candidiasis may also be present in those with new-onset disease. Alcohol intoxication is a leading cause for nocturnal enuresis among adults. Alcohol suppresses the ...
While 15% to 20% of five‐year‐old children experience nocturnal enuresis which usually goes away as they grow older, approximately 2% to 5% of young adults experience nocturnal enuresis. [38] About 3% of teenagers and 0.5% to 1% of adults experience enuresis or bedwetting, with the chance of it resolving being lower if it is considered ...
[2] [3] The term enuresis is often used to refer to urinary incontinence primarily in children, such as nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting). [4] UI is an example of a stigmatized medical condition, which creates barriers to successful management and makes the problem worse. [5]
Giggle incontinence is more common in children than adults, typically appearing at ages 5 to 7, [2] and is most common in girls near the onset of puberty [3] but can also happen to boys/males. The condition tends to improve with age, with fewer episodes during the teenage years, [ 2 ] but may persist into the teenage years or adulthood. [ 3 ]
Diurnal enuresis is daytime wetting (functional daytime urinary incontinence). Nocturnal enuresis is nighttime wetting. Enuresis is defined as the involuntary voiding of urine beyond the age of anticipated control. Both of these conditions can occur at the same time, although many children with nighttime wetting will

Children living an episode of confusional arousal typically sit up in bed, whimper, cry, moan, and may utter words like “no” or “go away”.
Children with OSA also show a higher risk for nocturnal enuresis [29] [76] and it is hypothesized to be caused by an excessive production of urine, [72] [77] impaired performance of the bladder and urethra [78] or an inability to suppress the nocturnal bladder contraction, due to a failure to arouse.
