Abstract:
The aim of this study was to describe the current management of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in France. A survey was carried out among 3803 schoolchildren (5-10 years of age) and treatments proposed by French experts were also noted. The prevalence of NE was 9.2%. Sixty-six percent of mothers of children with moderate to severe NE consulted a doctor; 20% of these doctors did not prescribe treatment, and the majority offered advice on lifestyle and diet in the first instance. The treatments proposed consisted of drugs rather than alarm therapy. The opinions of the experts varied widely, indicating a need for a consensus about the management of NE in France.
