Enuresis - Symptom

Síntomas:

El principal síntoma es la micción involuntaria, generalmente durante la noche y con una frecuencia de al menos dos veces al mes.

Pruebas y exámenes:

El pediatra hablará acerca de los antecedentes de enuresis en detalle. Se puede ayudar manteniendo un diario detallado que esboce los episodios de micción normal y de enuresis, ingesta de líquidos y alimentos sólidos (incluyendo la hora de las comidas) y los momentos de sueño.

Se debe realizar un examen físico para descartar causas de origen físico; además se debe realizar un análisis de orina para descartar infecciones y diabetes.

No se requieren radiografías de los riñones o de la vejiga u otros exámenes, a menos que exista una razón para sospechar de otros problemas.
