Nocturnal enuresis, commonly referred to as bedwetting, is the involuntary voiding of urine during sleep in individuals who have reached a developmental age where nighttime bladder control is expected, typically defined as five years of age or older Primarily affecting the pediatric population and the urologic and neurological systems governing micturition, it can present as primary, where dryness has never been sustained, or secondary, where symptoms emerge after a period of continence

The condition is characterized clinically by repeated nighttime wetting episodes and is driven pathophysiologically by a mismatch between nocturnal bladder capacity and urine production—often secondary to nocturnal polyuria from deficient nighttime antidiuretic hormone secretion, detrusor overactivity, and an inability to arouse from sleep in response to bladder fullness
