Diagnosis & Tests

How is bedwetting
(Nocturnal Enuresis diagnosed)?

You’ll know if a child has nocturnal enuresis if they are over the age of five, and often wakes to a wet bed.

A healthcare provider will diagnose nocturnal enuresis after a physical exam and taking a complete medical history. Your provider may offer tests, like a urine test, a blood test or an imaging test, to determine if an underlying medical condition caused bedwetting. If your provider suspects that emotional or psychological factors caused nocturnal enuresis, they may recommend you speak with a mental health professional.
