Advances in the management of enuresis

Abstract

There are still many undiscovered facts about enuresis, even though it is a very old "symptom". It is a significant health problem with a high prevalence among children and a lower prevalence in adulthood. Many treatment guidelines have been proposed for the management of this problem. The improvement of diagnostic tools, and also treatment modalities, have had a significant impact on success rates; however, the long-term success rates need to be higher, especially in resistant cases. In this report, we summarize the advances made in the diagnosis and treatment of enuresis.
