== Pathophysiology == Currently, [[nocturnal enuresis]] is understood to be caused by three main underlying factors: [[Polyuria|excess urine production]] at night, lack of capacity for [[Urinary bladder|bladder]] storage, and inability to wake from sleep, with pathogenesis possibly varying based on presence of daytime symptoms.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":5" /> The inability to control the [[detrusor muscle]] has been theorized as a possible [[Pathophysiology|pathophysiological]] cause of enuresis, which may explain why [[anticholinergic]] drugs are effective as medication therapy, since they act on the detrusor muscles.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" />
