ICD-11 code : 6C00;
Preferred Label : Enuresis;
ICD-11 definition : Enuresis is the repeated voiding of urine into clothes or bed, which may occur during
the day or at night, in an individual who has reached a developmental age when urinary
continence is ordinarily expected (5 years). The urinary 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 control. In most cases,
the behaviour is involuntary but in some cases it appears intentional. Enuresis should
not be diagnosed if unintentional voiding of urine is due to a health condition that
interferes with continence (e.g., diseases of the nervous system or musculoskeletal
disorders) or by congenital or acquired abnormalities of the urinary tract.;
