Nocturnal enuresis is a common childhood characterized by involuntary urination during sleep in children aged 5 year or older. Although often consider a benign development condition, it has significant psychological, emotional and social consequences for affected children and their families. The etiology of nocturnal enuresis is multifunctional and includes delayed neurological maturation, defective arousal from sleep, reduced nocturnal secretion of antidiuretic hormone, genetic predisposition, bladder dysfunctional, constipation and psychological stress. Convectional management includes behavioral therapy and pharmacological intentional, however these approaches may be associated with side effect and relapse after discontinuation. Homoeopathy has a great scope in the treatment of Nocturnal Enuresis because of its dynamic, individual and holistic concept where individual is considered for the treatment not the disease.
