Enuresis in children is a common disease associated with urinary incontinence, especially during sleep. This disease has a variety in the form of a constant incontinence associated with the psychological function of the body, as well as night enuresis, which occurs only at night. The disease can develop due to the causes of both physiological and psychological.
Enuresis is uncontrolled urination, which manifests itself in connection with impaired working functions of the body. The formation of brain functions that control urination occurs in the period 3-4 years. The exception is some children with developmental disorders under the age of 12 years.
Violations are often observed in boys than in girls. Enuresis in children is divided into two stages: the initial stage of urinary incontinence and the secondary stage of urinary incontinence.
At the initial stage, the body's inability to control the urethra in time occurs in time, so such children after sleep wake up wet. The secondary stage is accompanied by urination control and awakening at night, but for some reason this action is not carried out. You can cure the child from urinary incontinence only when the provoking factor is detected.

The reasons for the development of enuresis
Most often, uncontrolled urinary incontinence in a child is caused by a violation of the release of antidiuretic secretion and a vasopressin hormone. These substances are distinguished by the pituitary gland, which is responsible for human actions.
In the normal functioning of the pituitary gland, the child can control his condition and his needs. Children's enuresis can be in children with an underdeveloped function of the brain, which is unable to function correctly and supply the parts and cells with the necessary hormones. In this case, enuresis in children is inevitable.
Also, the disease can be caused by acute hypoxia during labor, in connection with which underdevelopment and mental deviations are subsequently observed, which are not capable of the work of the regulation center.
The cause of the development of enuresis can be attributed to diseases of the genitourinary system in which an inflammatory process occurs, which causes urinary incontinence at any time of the day. Most often, urine does not hold in a child with a mentally retarded development and a mentally unstable system.
For such children, any kind of stressful situation can serve as a provoking factor in urination. This includes:
- change of place of residence;
- parental divorce;
- inability to kindergarten, school.
Symptoms of urinary incontinence in children
Enorez disease is characterized by the following signs:
- labile emotionality;
- silence, isolation;
- temper, aggression;
- deviations in behavior.
Such children may manifest stuttering, somnambulism, insomnia. From the side of the autonomic system - arrhythmia, bradycardia, anemia.
Enorez treatment
The methods of treatment of urinary incontinence in a child directly depend on the causal factor. If enuresis has developed due to physiological disorders or infectious disease, appropriate medications are prescribed.
Parents are also recommended not to give a large amount of drinking to the child, especially at night. Treatment of a more complex type is characteristic of a disease caused on the basis of the emotional instability of the baby. In this case, a conversation with a psychologist is proposed to clarify the cause of fear or uncomfortable state of the child. To consolidate the result, you can undergo a course of therapy with a psychologist.
An important part in the treatment of urinary incontinence in children is the complete exclusion of conflict situations within the family, the restriction of the fluid drunk per day, the rise of the child at night and sitting it on the pot. With an enuresis, you should not reproach the child or shame him for the action performed, as this can cause stress and aggravate the situation, and mental stress is unlikely to be cured by simple methods.
