Overview

This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated are not common. However, there are possible causes that could result in disability if left untreated and are considered red flags. These include:

  • Sexual abuse
  • Neurological impairment especially of the lower extremities suggesting possible spinal dysraphisms
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Diabetes insipidus
  • Urinary tract infection

These are considered to be of particular concern when encountered in practice.

Common Causes

These causes are based on the classification of urinary incontinence in children.

Classification of Urinary Incontinence in Children
Types of urinary incontinence Details
Physiological
  • It is expected and seen as a norm in the early years.
  • Requires a minimum age of 5 years, at least one event in a month, and a minimum period of 3 months.
  • Persisting beyond the age of 5 years is termed pathological.
  • However, there are the 'late developers' who continue to experience physiologic urinary incontinence beyond the age of 5 years.
  • Clinical evaluation of these kids remains normal.[1]
Pathological Organic:
  • Usually uncommon.
  • In-depth investigations needed to be identified more so in cases that have not responded to conventional treatment.[1]
Functional or psychosomatic:
Monosymtomatic enuresis(MEN):
Non-monosymptomatic enuresis Nocturna(Non-MEN):
