Feedback:
Enuresis is diagnosed when a child is at least 5 years of age and is still having involuntary urination, usually at night. Although this problem is significant to the child and his or her parents, it is defined as a benign and self-limiting disorder, usually ending between 6 and 8 years of age. There is no research indicating that the incidence is increasing in the United States or that it is caused by lack of physical activity.
