Involuntary urination during sleep, typically defined as occurring in children aged five or older.
Nocturnal enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, is the involuntary urination while asleep, occurring after the age at which bladder control is usually achieved (generally age 5 or older). It is a common condition often caused by a small bladder capacity, deep sleep, or delayed maturation of bladder control, rather than being a behavioral problem.
Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to managing nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) by addressing the underlying causes rather than just the symptom. It uses individualized natural remedies to strengthen bladder control, balance hormone levels (such as ADH), and reduce anxiety or stress, often showing promise in treating cases.
