Enureisis: Did you discuss DDAVP (desmopressin) with your doctor? Enuresis is more common in boys and may go on till adolescence. DDAVP (desmopressin) can help in a majority of patients. see http://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0401/p1499.html http://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/conditions/bedwetting/treatment.html

Consider meds ...: Involuntary bedwetting while asleep is common in childhood. Most children by age 7 will be dry at night and until thenan expectant approach is reasonable. Persisting symptoms causing distress and not amenable to non-drug measures (behavioural strategy / alarms) may be treated with Desmopressin as firstline. See http://patient.info/health/bedwetting-nocturnal-enuresis for practical advice. See Dr.
