ABSTRACT

Introduction: Enuresis is defined as the nighttime, involuntary and functionally normal removal of urine that occurs at an age at which voluntary urination control can be expected in the child. It is a common cause of consultation in pediatrics, possibly rarely diagnosed and treated, which can become a major health problem in children and adolescents.
Objective: Examine epidemiological data on enuresis in a sample of children population and the importance of its early diagnosis.
Methods: Cross-sectional study, descriptive through surveys filled in over a period of 6 months, by pediatric patients aged 5-15 years, in external consultations of Lluís Alcanyís de Xativa Hospital (Valencia).
Results: 321 patients included in the study, 50.5% female ones. The age range of those included was of 5 to 15 years, with an average of 11 years. There was 2.8% of daytime incontinence, 8.4% of nocturnal enuresis, of which 77.8% were primary monosymptomatic enuresis; 77.8% of participants had reported their health status to their pediatrician and 22.2% did not report it.
Conclusions: It is important to diagnose enuresis early, educate families in their knowledge of this problem, and help providing adequate and individualized solutions and treatment. A high and not negligible percentage of families does not inform their pediatrician, and this attitude can delay the treatment. Early diagnosis and care of this health problem can help children improve their quality of life.
