Background: Enuresis is common and considered to be normal among children younger than 3 years of age. Nocturnal enuresis is involuntary passage of urine during sleep among children five years of age or older. It is not a serious health problem, and children usually develop control over the bladder as they grow older but it can be upsetting for children as well as parents. India estimates 7 to 15 % prevalence rate among children and the numbers drop to 3 to 5% by the age of ten years. Objectives were to identify the children with Nocturnal Enuresis and assess their clinical profile.
Methods: A descriptive survey was conducted among the children age 05 to 10 years. Data were collected from two villages of Aurangabad district and the information was gathered from parents of 413 with the use of structured questionnaire. The first section included the socio- demographic characteristics of the children and their parents. The second section included variables related to the clinical profile and history of nocturnal enuresis in the family.
Results: The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis was 10.91% in which 06.94% were males and 03.97% females. With regard to severity 55% children were found to be in moderate category while 09% belonged to severe category of nocturnal enuresis.
Conclusions: The prevalence rate was higher in selected villages. Most of the parents consider nocturnal enuresis as social stigma. Counseling and education of parents would help in improving general health of children in rural area.
