Primary Enuresis: Univevsal
Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Aden University, Yemen
– Nocturnal enuresis de-creased by age from 31.5% at 6-8 years to 8.7% at 15+ years (P < 0.05). Primary nocturnal enuresis affected 76.1%, of which the majority of children were bedwetting every night. Positive family history of nocturnal enuresis, deeper sleep, daytime enuresis, tea drinking, being non working father or with less education showed significant association with the occurrence of enuresis in the students.
– Stressful events in the previous 6 months of the study were twice more frequently noted. The study concluded that the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis in Aden public school children and its associated factors are almost comparable with that reported in epidemiological studies from various countries.

Primary Enuresis: Not just for kids
Division of Paediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, Hong Kong
• Overall, 2.3% of Hong Kong adults aged 16-40 years have persistent PNE. Unlike PNE in early childhood the prevalence remained relatively unchanged with age, suggesting that enuretic symptoms persisting into adulthood are probably less likely to resolve with time.

Primary Enuresis: Nature v. Nurture?
Long history of debates between:
• Bladder v. Brain
• GU v. Psychology
• Drugs v. “therapy”
• Medical v. non-medical
ALL are false dichotomies
![Page 9: Management of Behavioral Problems in the Primary Care ... · PDF fileManagement of Behavioral Problems in the Primary Care Office: Enuresis and Encopresis ... •Keeping y’all awake](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7943ac7f8b9a0b118c50a8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Speaking my thoughts
• Take a history and rule out (98%):
– Toxic Trauma
– Congenital anomalies
– UTI
– Developmental variations
• Meds ONLY for “emergencies” (sleep-overs)
• “Alarm” and “practice” as main treatment
• 100% “cure” rate

Main Treatment: 3 steps
1. Get the “alarm” and discuss its use/theory
2. PRACTICE nightly:
– Bedtime routine
– Strict script: return to bathroom
– SLOW & steady improvement expected
3. Track daily (minimum of 30 “D” to “quit”)
– “D” or “W” every morning on calendar
– Return to schedule for 30 D if “relapse”

Encopresis: Same Debates
Long history of debates between:
• Bladder Bowel v. Brain
• GU GI v. Psychology
• Drugs v. “therapy”
• Medical v. non-medical
ALL are false dichotomies

Speaking my thoughts
• Take a history and rule out (98%):
– Toxic Trauma
– Congenital anomalies
– Developmental variations
• Meds to start and maintain
• Consistency & calm as main treatment
• 66% “cure” rate initially, 90% longer-term

Main Therapy: 2 Steps
1. “Clean out”
– “old days” = stimulant laxatives
– Now = Polyethylene glycol 3350
2. Routine/schedules/tracking
– “old days” = stool softeners
– Now = Polyethylene glycol 3350
