THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF A CHILD WITH ENURESIS IN PRIMARY CARE

The screening non-invasive examination performed by a primary care paediatrician in children with enuresis after the 5th year of age, with day or night leak of urine after the 4th year, enables to differentiate more serious forms of incontinence from monosymptomatic enuresis and hyperactive bladder and initiate a timely and targeted treatment. In case of a failure of basic treatment or in case of a suspicion of a functional or organic anomaly of inferior urinary tract an examination by a paediatric nephrologist or urologist is necessary.

Keywords: children, monosymptomatic enuresis, hyperactive bladder.
