Dr Mol shares that bedwetting can be attributed to various factors, including the low production of the hormone vasopressin during sleep (with subsequenrt overproduction of urine at night), small bladder capacity, and poor sleep arousal. Dr. Mol distinguishes between two types of bedwetting: primary and secondary enuresis. Primary enuresis refers to bedwetting in a child who has never been dry for at least six months. While secondary enuresis occurs after a child has been dry for a minimum of six months and then begins wetting the bed again.
