📋 Stepwise Approach to Enuresis & Voiding Dysfunction

🔑 Key Principles — Nelson Ch 580
• Nocturnal enuresis: 15% of 5-year-olds. Primary (never dry) vs secondary (dry for 6 months). Monosymptomatic vs non-monosymptomatic (daytime symptoms).
• First-line therapy: Motivational therapy, fluid restriction, voiding before bed. Enuresis alarm (30-60% success, low relapse). Desmopressin (oral, 0.2-0.6mg) for short-term or special events.
• Overactive bladder: Urgency, frequency, urge incontinence, Vincent's curtsy. Timed voiding, anticholinergics (oxybutynin).
• Bladder-bowel dysfunction (BBD): Constipation exacerbates voiding symptoms. Treat constipation (polyethylene glycol) first.
• Dysfunctional voiding: Staccato stream, high PVR. Biofeedback, pelvic floor relaxation.
