Revised terminology for the time of incontinence has been suggested (1, 2 —see also the International Continence Society web site): For urinary incontinence during the day: Diurnal incontinence (or diurnal wetting) For urinary incontinence at night: Enuresis (or bed-wetting) Diurnal (daytime) incontinence is usually not diagnosed until age 5 or 6.
