Should see a doctor: Bed wetting or nocturnal eneuresis after age 10 is considered abnormal.Most girls stay dry at night by age 6 and most boys, by age 7. By age 10, 95% of both girls and boys stay dry at night during sleep. Only, in 5-10% of casese, the cause is a medical condition. In most cases, a family history and a history of developmental delays/problems ; psychological issues are important causes.Thx.
