| Types of urinary incontinence | Details |
|---|---|
| Physiological | It is expected and seen as a norm in the early years.
Requires a minimum age of 5 years, at least one event in a month, and a minimum period of 3 months. Persisting beyond the age of 5 years is termed pathological. However, there are the 'late developers' who continue to experience physiologic urinary incontinence beyond the age of 5 years. Clinical evaluation of these kids remains normal. |
| Pathological | Organic: usually uncommon. In-depth investigations needed to be identified more so in cases that have not responded to conventional treatment |
| Functional or psychosomatic urinary incontinence: includes all forms of pathological urinary incontinence without anatomic or neurologic defects. Manifestations of which have been subdivided into: | |
| Monosymtomatic enuresis(MEN): These kids have never had a dry period of >6 months and in the absence of any bladder dysfunction or symptoms suggestive of lower urinary tract issues | |
| Non-monosymptomatic enuresis Nocturna(Non-MEN): diurnal presentation with an urge, frequency, and enuresis. |
