Enuresis is a most common problem encountered in millions of children. Most cases are likely to appear in young children and gets less common as a child gets older.
Every child grows and develops in different ways, and gains bladder control at an individual pace. Bladder control during the day is achieved between two and three years of age; and nighttime control by age four. Girls tend to reach bladder control earlier than boys who usually gain control by 5 yrs of age. Many children attain daytime continence whereas still lacking control of bladder during the night. Children who wet the bed beyond the age of five need proper medical attention, love and support for their parents.
Nocturnal Enuresis can generate lot of embarrassment, feelings of guilt and shame and anxiety in the child. Enuresis can produce a deep impact on child's behavior as well his/her social and personal relationships. Sometimes it can lead to certain conflicts with their parents too.

Homeopathy, on other hand will try to evaluate the root cause and treat enuresis from its root by considering the child as a whole. Its individualistic approach will boost the immunity and thereby reduce the severity and reoccurrence of attacks.

Bedwetting is considered as a medical affair when a child above 5 years old had two or more bed-wetting episodes per month, and a child older than six years of age had one or more episodes per month.
Most parents observe wet bed sheets or night wears in children with bedwetting. If there is any physical cause involved like urinary tract infection then the child may show following symptoms of nocturnal enuresis –
- Painful/ burning urination
- -Increased frequency of urination
- -Fever with chills
Other symptom includes increased thirst, snoring, weakness and loss of appetite along with other symptoms of Nocturnal Enuresis.
It is important to watch for such symptoms of nocturnal enuresis in an older child who soaks the bed after having dryness nights in the past.
Nocturnal Enuresis can cause discomfort to both child and parents. There are number of factors associated with the causes of nocturnal enuresis.
Genetics- A strong family history is linked with the development of bedwetting. Studies reveal that bedwetting is linked to the genes on chromosomes 13q and 12q and child is at higher risk if one or both parents have a past history of bed-wetting. This is one of the chief causes of nocturnal enuresis.
Causes of nocturnal enuresis of primary type include:
- Delayed development- In some children nerve pathways between the pelvis and brain may not be fully developed to sense when the bladder is full
- Small bladder capacity- Sometimes the capacity of the bladder is not sufficient enough to store or hold urine leading to involuntary passage of urine
- Poor sleep arousal- Some children are in deep comatose sleep and fail to wake up at night for urine. This is striking factor in causes of nocturnal enuresis.
- Insufficient secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) - ADH helps to conserve the fluid volume of the body by decreasing the amount of water passed out in the urine. Less secretion of anti-diuretic hormone will cause the kidneys to excrete too much water, esp. in the night causing bedwetting
- Emotional and social factors. Bed-wetting may appear as a direct result of emotional problems. Sometimes, stress in family like divorced parents, death of someone, separation from mother can cause bedwetting. This is main factor in causes of nocturnal enuresis.
Causes of nocturnal enuresis of secondary type-
- Physical causes - Kidney or Bladder infection (urinary tract infection), Diabetes, seizure disorder, sleep apnea etc
- Abnormalities in the urethral valves in boys or in the ureters in girls or boys
- Abnormalities of spinal cord
- Children with chronic constipation or encopresis (involuntary passing of stools) may present with bed-wetting.
These are important causes of nocturnal enuresis.
Thus each case of Nocturnal enuresis is unique and specific. Homeopaths try to evaluate the cause and treat accordingly.
