Bedwetting: The Different Types of Enuresis

 

There are different types of enuresis.

  • We speak of primary enuresis when the child has never been toilet trained.
  • Secondary enuresis is defined as bedwetting problems that have been preceded by a period of at least 6 months during which the child was toilet trained.

Generally, secondary enuresis is due to a traumatic event for the child such as the arrival of a younger brother or sister, divorce, accident, starting school...

Primary enuresis is the most common form of enuresis and can be cured quite easily with appropriate treatment such as alarms.

We also distinguish between daytime enuresis, which involves urinary leakage at night, and nighttime enuresis, which involves urinary leakage at night.
