Comparison of the characteristics and factors influencing hospital visits among children with nocturnal enuresis in Japan: The Hirakata-Urayasu population-based cohort study.

The findings of this study suggest that parents with school-aged children have low awareness that nocturnal enuresis is a health problem and therefore subject to medical consultation. Although the proportion of hospital visits increases for children aged ≥11 years, children and families suffering from nocturnal enuresis should be encouraged to see a doctor instead of adopting a "wait and see attitude," even at a young age.
