The reflex of urination is innate, usually, children do not realize that they can control it up to two or three years.

Nocturnal enuresis is involuntary urination that happens at night while sleeping, after the age when a person should be able to control his or her bladder. (Involuntary urination that happens during the day is known as diurnal enuresis.) There are two kinds of enuresis: primary and secondary. Source

For older people, both men and women are susceptible to the symptoms of "Nocturne". According to clinical statistics, approximately 50% of adults over the age of 50 suffer from nocturia. The reason, in addition to physical aging, many diseases, and even psychological factors, will also cause problems with polyuria at night. In terms of psychological factors such as anxiety and tension, people unknowingly have a sense of urination; and the level of involvement is wider in terms of physiological factors.

Causes
The cause of most primary nocturnal enuresis has not been confirmed
The following are some of the factors that may cause nocturnal enuresis.
And these factors are generally not controlled by children themselves.

• Environmental factors:
  Suddenly change the environment; climate change is cold; children drink too much water before going to sleep; eat watermelon and other fruits with more water content and diuretic effect; parents do not promptly put urine in the night when the child has a good night to cause the child to wet the bed. It is also one of the reasons why children are oversleeping. According to relevant people's EEG observation of children in bedwetting, this factor does exist. As long as the cause is corrected and targeted, the child's bedwetting phenomenon will be greatly reduced and eventually no longer wet the bed.

• Bladder function problems:
  bladder capacity in some children
  Maybe less or have bladder control problems, thus
  The bladder can't store too much urine, or every time you drink water
  Will stimulate bladder muscle contraction and allow urine to drain

• vasopressin imbalance:
  insufficient vasopressin secretion at night,
  Causes excessive urine, resulting in nocturnal enuresis
