Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem for pediatric patients that can be quite distressing for children as well as their parents. In this episode join Madeline Snipes, a medical student at the Medical College of Georgia as she discusses nocturnal enuresis with Chief of Pediatric Urology at the Children's Hospital of Georgia, Dr. Bradley Morganstern, and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Susan Goldberg, on an overview of nocturnal enuresis. Specifically, they will review:
• The definition of nocturnal enuresis and its basic epidemiology.
• The potential causes of nocturnal enuresis.
• The appropriate workup for a pediatric patient with nocturnal enuresis.
• When referral to a pediatric urologist is indicated.
• The various treatment options for a pediatric patient with nocturnal enuresis.
• And finally the potential sequelae that may result from untreated nocturnal enuresis.
Special thanks to Dr. Jordan Gitlin, pediatric urologist at NYU’s Winthrop Hospital, and Dr. Shreeti Kapoor, general pediatrician and associate professor of pediatric medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.
