The management of bedwetting and nocturnal enuresis in children and young people

This clinical guideline offers evidence-based advice on the assessment, care and treatment of children and young people up to the age of 19 with bedwetting.

The causes of bedwetting are not fully understood. Bedwetting can be
considered to be a symptom that may result from a combination of different
predisposing factors. There are a number of different disturbances of
physiology that may be associated with bedwetting. These disturbances may
be categorised as sleep arousal difficulties, polyuria and bladder dysfunction.
Bedwetting also often runs in families.
