Involuntary nocturnal urination (enuresis nocturna) Is one of barnealderens most common and most chronic diseases and is the cause of much frustration, guilt and poor self-esteem. Tilstanden is known and described all the way back to 1550 f.kr. and has been surrounded by many myths, taboos and prejudices, among other things, that enuresis is due to psychological problems in children.

Enuresis is very abundant. Thus, six to 10 percent of all the seven-year-old problem. This means that one to two children in each class and a total of approximately 50,000 children suffer from enuresis.If we do not do something about the problem, there are approximately 15 percent chance to be dry during one year. However, it is so, the chances are even worse among those who have enuresis each night. In a small proportion of children continue up the symptoms in adulthood and one to three percent of young adults has continued enuresis. Enuresis is clearly hereditary. For example, if one of the two parents had enuresis as children, their children have 5-7 times greater risk of getting enuresis than others.
