Abstract:

Purpose: Primary monosymptomatic enuresis point (PMEN) identifies patients with no symptoms of the day-to-day lower urine system and untouched enuresis for more than 6 months. In this study, we aimed at investigating the etiological risk factors in patients diagnosed with PMEN. Methods: The files of patients with aneurysis have been reviewed backward. Those with anatomic malformation, nonmonosymptomatic and secondary enuresis were dismissed, only children known for PMEN were included in the study. Healthy children with no history of bed moisture were identified as the control group. Both groups were compared in terms of ethical risk factors. Results: 89 children diagnosed with PMEN with an average age of 9.7 and 9 respectively and 70 healthy children in the control group were included in the study. Both groups were similar in terms of age, gender, birth type, birth weight, pregnancy time and sleep time. The average body mass index (VKI), the average only breast milk time, the average breast milk and the additional food time for enuresis and control groups were respectively 19.1 and 16.8 kg/m2, 5.4 and 7.3 months, 13.2 and 17.9 months (p=0.012, p=0,005, p=0.034). The family history of enuresis, enuresis and control groups, respectively, were positive in 58 (%65.2) and 12 (%17,1) in the child (p=0,001). In multivariate regression analysis, family history and breast milk time are independent risk factors for enuresis (p=0,001, p=0,012). The result: HIV, a positive family history and a short time of breast milk intake are risk factors for enuresis. This study has shown that eating breast milk for a long time in childhood is protective against the development of enuresis in childhood.
