Enuresis in pediatric practice

Abstract

Urinary incontinence is a common problem of childhood. Among voluntary urination disorders in children, isolated (monosymptomatic) nocturnal enuresis is the most widespread. The article presents the modern classification of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and describes the potential pathogenetic mechanisms of its development. Diagnostic algorithms and challenges of non-pharmacological and drug therapy are considered in detail.
