In children with normal development, daytime bladder muscle control develops around 2-3 years of age. It is expected to develop nocturnal bladder control between the ages of 4-5 years. If the child still wets the bed during the day and/or night after the age of 5, this should be investigated.
It is important to determine whether bedwetting is due to medical or psychological reasons.

The patient should be followed up with this behavior change and toilet hygiene studies. If the problem cannot be resolved with these methods, drug treatment may be considered.
