    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Child Psychology

    Background:

    • Enuresis, or bedwetting, affects many children.
    • Constipation is a common pediatric issue.
    • The link between constipation and enuresis is often overlooked.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of constipation in children with enuresis.
    • To determine if treating constipation resolves enuresis.
    • To explore the role of constipation as an etiological factor in enuresis.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruited 25 children diagnosed with enuresis.
    • Confirmed constipation through medical history, rectal examination, and manometric studies.
    • Administered constipation treatment to affected children.

    Main Results:

    • Constipation was confirmed in 22 out of 25 children with enuresis.
    • Treatment for constipation led to the resolution of enuresis in these children.
    • Uninhibited bladder contractions were observed in both enuretic constipated children and those with constipation alone.

    Conclusions:

    • Constipation is a significant and often unrecognized cause of childhood enuresis.
    • Addressing constipation is a crucial step in managing enuresis.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the physiological links between constipation and bladder dysfunction.
