Diurnal enuresis in children
Article Abstract:
Children who have diurnal enuresis wet themselves during the day. The children probably have weak bladder muscles which leak urine before the bladder is full. The reasons for diurnal enuresis are not fully understood and more research is needed but it is known that urinary infections and constipation can cause it. Other theories include premature toilet training and problems with loosening clothes or fears about using the toilet. Bladder training programmes are effective in treating this condition.

Article Abstract:
Nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) is a prevalent childhood condition, and it is uncertain as to whether it is due to psychological or organic problems, according to the Enuresis Resource and Information Centre (ERIC), although it may run in families. Many parents do not seek help for their children until crisis point has been reached, but there is help available from school nurses, health visitors and enuresis nurses, working in specialist clinics.
