ICD-11 definition : Elimination disorders include the repeated voiding of urine into clothes or bed (enuresis)
and the repeated passage of feces in inappropriate places (encopresis). Elimination
disorders should only be diagnosed after the individual has reached a developmental
age when continence is ordinarily expected (5 years for enuresis and 4 years for encopresis).
The urinary or fecal incontinence may have been present from birth (i.e., an atypical
extension of normal infantile incontinence), or may have arisen following a period
of acquired bladder or bowel control. An Elimination disorder should not be diagnosed
if the behaviour is fully attributable to another health condition that causes incontinence,
congenital or acquired abnormalities of the urinary tract or bowel, or excessive use
of laxatives or diuretics.;
