📋Overview
Nocturnal enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, is the involuntary urination during sleep in children beyond the typical age of bladder control. It is a legacy term often replaced by 'nocturnal enuresis' in clinical practice. It primarily affects children but can persist into adolescence or adulthood. The condition is classified as either primary (no prior sustained dryness) or secondary (recurrence after a dry period).
