Tips for managing treatment-resistant enuresis.

Enuresis (bedwetting) is common in school-aged children and can impact health, psychosocial well-being and quality of life. Although effective treatment is available, treatment resistance is encountered in about 50%. This paper discusses the management of treatment-resistant enuresis from a multidisciplinary perspective. Causes of treatment resistance include lower urinary tract problems, constipation, incorrect alarm training techniques, sleep disorders including sleep apnoea and psychological comorbidities. Practical suggestions to address treatment resistance are offered utilising expertise from clinicians from different disciplines.
