Hi, my name is Dr. Randy Hyde. I would like to talk to you about enuresis, which is the clinical name for bed wetting, or daytime wetting. This is a big problem, not only for the child, but for the parent as well. All parties feel guilty and struggle with this difficult, difficult problem. There are actually four different kinds of enuresis. One is bed wetting, which is called nocturnal enuresis, and this occurs most often. The second is diurnal enuresis, which is daytime wetting. The third type is primary enuresis, this is where a child has not gained continence for at least a year, where the problem has been ongoing. And that's probably the most common. Secondary enuresis is where a child has gained continence, stopped bed wetting, and then regained bed wetting again, they regress or fallen back into the same old pattern. And there's a combination of the first two and the second two. For example, a person can have nocturnal and diurnal enuresis, where they wet the bed and struggle with wetting during the day. They can also have nocturnal and diurnal primary enuresis, where they've never had continence. There's a combination of all those. The reason I bring this up is because it's important for you to understand because the treatment is different for each one.
