Nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) is a common inherited medical condition affecting both children and adults. It is not due to laziness. It can be distressing, embarrassing, humiliating and has a negative impact on self esteem and mood especially in children and young people over the age of 10 years.
To assist busy general practitioners develop a better understanding of bedwetting and the importance of its diagnosis and treatment.
Spontaneous remission rates over the age of 10 years are low at 5% per year and approaches often tried at home such as waking to void, reward charts or fluid restriction are not effective. However, treatment with alarm systems or desmopressin for those who fail to respond to alarms is successful in over 90% of cases.
夜间遗尿症（尿床）是一种常见的遗传性疾病，影响儿童和成人。这并非由于懒惰。它可能令人苦恼、尴尬、羞辱，对自尊和情绪有负面影响，尤其是对10岁以上的儿童和青少年。
帮助忙碌的全科医生更好地了解尿床及其诊断和治疗的重要性。
10岁以上的自然缓解率较低，每年为5%，在家中经常尝试的方法，如叫醒排尿、奖励图表或液体限制等均无效。然而，对于那些对报警器无反应的患者，使用报警器系统或去氨加压素治疗，超过90%的病例是成功的。
