What's Enuresis?
Enuresis
Say: en-yoo-REE-sus
Another word for enuresis is bedwetting. Lots of kids — and even teens — pee by accident while they are sleeping. For some reason, they can't feel that their bladders are full and that they need to empty them. This problem runs in families. Kids usually grow out of bedwetting as they get older.
