Nocturnal enuresis

Enuresis is most common and difficult clinical problem in pediatric age group of 5-12 yrs. A case of 8 year male patient presented with complaints of nocturnal enuresis since two years was treated successfully with Homoeopathic medicine Lycopodium Clavatum 200 which proved to be effective in reducing the incontinence.

Enuresis also known as bedwetting is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bedwetting can become a cause of embarrassment for both chil ren and their parents.The symptoms and diagnosis of the disease have been clearly defined in medical research. Further the understanding of the somatopsychic effects could lead to better treatments and help to reduce prevalence through preventive measures. The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis for females is 10.6%, for males it is 16.9% and the overall prevalence is 13.7%, In preparing the dissertation on “SOMATOPSYCHIC EFFECTS OF NOCTURNAL ENURESIS IN PAEDIATRIC AGE GROUP AND ITS CORRESPONDING MATERIA MEDICA IMAGES”, I have observed and studied various causes and psychological impact for selection of homoeopathic similimum. MateriaMedica images of various drugs are formed with the help of conceptual image format. Bed wetting can possibly tarnish the self-confidence of the child developing a strong fear of being ridiculed by peers.
