    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Adult enuresis and enuretic syndrome are persistent voiding disorders.
    • The relationship between endocrine function and bladder control is not fully understood.

    Observation:

    • Two female patients presented with adult enuresis and enuretic syndrome.
    • Both patients had underlying hyperthyroidism.

    Findings:

    • Following treatment for hyperthyroidism, both patients experienced complete resolution of their voiding disorders.
    • Symptomatic improvement was sustained at 5.5 and 1.5 years post-treatment.

    Implications:

    • Thyroid function may play a role in bladder control and the pathophysiology of enuresis.
    • Further controlled studies are warranted to investigate the thyroid-bladder axis in voiding dysfunction.
