Eneuresis Symptoms and Signs


The main characteristic of enuresis is the involuntary urinating of the child during his sleep. Enuresis has two kinds: primary and secondary bedwetting. Primary bedwetting is when the child wets his bed while asleep and stays dry after he is cleaned up. Secondary bedwetting meanwhile is when the person wets his bed twice; first during his sleep, and the second after he was dried up.
