What about pediatric enuresis?

Cases of pediatric bedwetting are often encountered in clinical work and are briefly summarized. Enuresis is defined as bedwetting during sleep still occurring >2 times/week for more than 6 months in children over 5 years of age. It is reported that the incidence is about 4 years old 20-25%, 7 years old 5-10%, 15 years old 1-2% The main causes of primary enuresis can be the following: ① delayed development of the cerebral cortex can not inhibit the spinal cord urinary center in the post-sleep forced urethritis muscle uninhibited contraction will be discharged; ② sleep is too deep (central sleep-wake disorders): failure to wake up immediately after falling asleep when the bladder is swollen; ③ sleep antidiuretic Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion is reduced; ④ genetic factors: the child’s parents or siblings have a higher incidence of enuresis Diagnosis and commonly used tests: Diagnosis of primary enuresis is based on the principle of exclusion of secondary enuresis secondary to a variety of causes of enuresis ① history: pay attention to the presence or absence of hereditary factors at the same time, there is constipation or neurological disorders that may be secondary to the neurogenic bladder. ② physical examination: for a detailed physical examination of the whole body, pay special attention to the anal sphincter muscle tone is normal with or without spina bifida perineal sensation with or without loss of sensation and lower limb activity is normal ③ laboratory tests: urine routine urine culture ④ X-ray examination: plain film to observe the presence or absence of spina bifida cystourethrocystography to observe the presence or absence of mechanical obstruction ⑤ urodynamic examination: urinary flow rate examination to observe the presence or absence of obstruction of the lower urinary tract intravesical pressure determination to observe the absence or absence of inhibition of the urinary tract.
