Abstract

To this day, there remains controversy on how to manage bed-wetting or primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) in children. We plan to identify controversial areas and provide you with practical insights so that you may address management using your own practice preferences. Finally we will present our successful approach used for more than 25 years, now known as the Try for Dry program.
