The umbrella term “Wetting” includes several manifestations and conditions. In general, Enuresis is defined as the involuntary release of urine.
We notice several types of wettings:
🟩 Nocturnal Enuresis, Involuntary release of urine while sleeping, above the age of four. Hence, wetting in the afternoon is classified as Nocturnal Wetting even though it occurs during the day.
🟩 Daytime Wetting, Involuntary release of urine during the day and the waking hours. Occurs on a less frequent basis than Nocturnal Enuresis. Involves a different restraint mechanism than Nocturnal Enuresis, and the reasons behind the phenomenon are different from the reasons for bedwetting. [Read more: Dribbling during the day]
🟩 Primary Nocturnal Enuresis, Occurs when the urination never stopped, or when there was a break in the act of urination for a short period of less than six months.
🟩 Secondary Nocturnal Enuresis, Occurs when the urination stopped for a period of six months or more. At the end of the dry period, there was a regression, and the child started wetting again.
🟩 Seasonal Wetting, Wetting that occurs mainly during the winter, and temporarily stops in summer.
