In enuresis, which is an expulsion disorder that can be defined as involuntary or involuntary recurrent incontinence to bed or clothes, the chronological age of the child is at least 5 years old. Children under the age of 5 are not considered within this scope. Pee leaking behavior repeats at least 2 times a week for at least 3 consecutive months, and it determines the point where clinical intervention is required in case of decreased functionality related to living (school, work, social area). There should be no drug, substance or health problem that may cause pee incontinence. Although there is a genetic factor, it is a disorder that can also be seen due to parental attitude
. It is a situation that needs to be evaluated
in the context of the child and can have more than one source. Anxiety, stress intensity, trauma history, how toilet training is given, factors that may cause regression (birth of a new sibling), having someone in the family to take as a model, power in the child's hand (who does everything he says), difficulty in complying with the limits (I can pee wherever I want when I want to) ), excessive sexual arousal, physical manifestation of mental tension (we go to the toilet after difficult exams) can be seen.
Intermittent urine is a substance that suggests that there may be a more medical condition. After a while, it can become a source of embarrassment and stress for the child. It is important to leave the diaper, stop urinating at night, reduce fluid intake in the late hours, balance the power in the child's hand, reach the child's stress source and intervene in that area, and display an attitude that sees and understands the child. In order to prevent enuresis in the pre-5 years old period, when the child misses pee, "hmm I guess you couldn't hold your pee or when the child did it out of spite, hmm I guess you confused where to pee, here You knew that it shouldn't be done, right, we talked to you about this, you need to do it in the toilet”, compassionate and clear reactions can be given to the child.
