Abstract
Bedwetting, or enuresis, represents a socially stigmatizing and distressing condition that significantly impacts the quality of life for both children and their parents. This article seeks to assess and consolidate the current understanding of traditional and innovative treatments, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, for children with enuresis. The article discusses the various treatment modalities which have been developed and validated to alleviate symptoms of enuresis, enhance quality of life, and address the social and emotional challenges faced by affected children. Finally the article emphasizes the important primary role of general pediatricians that is to tailor therapy protocols to each individual child, considering their unique needs and circumstances, and working closely with their families to identify the most effective approach.
