Yeung CK, Sihoe JD, Sit FK, Bower W, Sreedhar B, Lau J. Papers of particular interest, published recently, have been highlighted as: Future studies will provide a better framework for treating this problem. Treatment should first target identifiable etiologies, although a generalized algorithm can then be utilized with behavioral and lifestyle modifications, followed by medical therapy. A comprehensive workup requires an understanding of the patient’s history and symptomatology and the pathophysiologic processes that can occur. SummaryĪdult nocturnal enuresis is multifactorial and may have multiple underlying pathologies. The modern urologist should understand the complexity of this problem and the variety of techniques to evaluate and treat the adult patient with NE. Furthermore, treatment approaches highlight the importance of identifying risk factors and contributing pathologies. In the few existing studies, the management strategy is extrapolated from research on pediatric nocturnal enuresis. Recent FindingsĪlthough nocturnal enuresis (NE) impacts a significant proportion of the adult population, research on this topic remains lacking.
