Bedwetting (Enuresis)
Night time bladder issues often result in bedwetting in children and young people. Bedwetting is recognised as a medical condition from the time a child is five years old and treatment is available. It is sometimes called enuresis or nocturnal enuresis.
Your child’s health visitor, school nurse or GP will also be able to provide you with support and may be able to refer your child to a local service for assessment and treatment.
