ABSTRACT
Introduction: Bawl fi’l Farāsh Ibtidayi (Primary Nocturnal enuresis) is a condition in which involuntary urination occurs while sleeping in the absence of organic disease. Nocturnal enuresis is the most common urologic complaint in paediatric patients, and it is defined as the involuntary loss of urine during sleep that occurs at least twice a week in children older than 5 years of age (or the developmental equivalent) for at least 3 months. In India the prevalence of Nocturnal enuresis ranges approximately from 7% to 12.6%. As per Unani concept the predominance of Ruṭūbat i.e. excessive moistness in children causes the disease. This leads to Istirkhā’-e-Adlaat badan including Aḍala al-Mathāna causing involuntary urination.
