    Under normal circumstances, infants and toddlers aged 10 to 18 months can begin training to consciously control urination, but some young children still have unconscious urination at night until they are 2 years old, which is a physiological phenomenon. However, after the age of 3, if you cannot control urination during the day or cannot wake up from sleep and urinate consciously, it is called primary enuresis or nocturia. Some children are able to control urination at the age of 2 to 3 years, and after the age of 4 to 5 years, they have nocturnal enuresis, which is called secondary enuresis.

    It is more common in children under 10 years of age and can occasionally extend up to 12 to 18 years of age.

    The vast majority of enuresis in children is functional and is due to dysfunction of the cerebral cortex and subcortical centers. Common causes of functional enuresis are psychiatric factors, such as sudden start, excessive fatigue, sudden change of environment, loss of parental care, and incorrect parenting habits. Enuresis is mostly seen in children who are excited, timid, passive, overly sensitive, or overly asleep.

    Some children have a familial sexual orientation. A small number of cases are due to organic pathologies such as pinworm, spina bifida (occult or with myelocele), myelitis, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, brain hypoplasia, and small bladder volume.

    Delayed development of the cerebral cortex: inability to inhibit the urinary center of the spinal cord, uninhibited contraction of the detrusor muscle after sleep, and excretion of urine;

    Deep sleep: Failure to wake up immediately after falling asleep when the bladder distends;

    Psychological factors: For example, if the child psychologically believes that he cannot be loved by his parents and loses his care, the child often has a strange temper, is shy, lonely, timid, and unsociable

    Genetic factors: children have a higher incidence of enuresis in their parents or siblings.

    1. Genetic factors: the genetic background of the family;

    2. Active cerebral cortex: children may be more active, and the cerebral cortex has been in a state of excitement, and enuresis will occur at night;

    3. Pathological factors: such as tethered spinal cord disease or occult spina bifida, etc., will cause enuresis;

    4. Psychological factors: For example, parents are stricter and will repeatedly criticize enuresis, children will be nervous, and they will be nervous when they fall asleep, resulting in enuresis at night.

    For the case of enuresis, first of all, parents should not blame the child at will, because he himself does not want to enuresis, and he does not know about enuresis, too much accusation is easy to cause psychological burden and inferiority complex, and secondly, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out **, the activity of the cerebral cortex can be controlled by drugs. Finally, before going to bed, children need to be asked to urinate and urinate several times at night to reduce the occurrence of enuresis.
