How effective is the duration of breastfeeding on monosymptomatic enuresis nocturna?

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship and duration of breastfeeding in monosymptomatic enuresis nocturna.
Material and Methods: 150 children, 78 of whom were diagnosed with enuresis nocturna and 72 of whom were in the control group, who applied to our urology clinic between July 2020 and September 2020, were included in the study. The duration of breastfeeding, the number of children at home, formula feeding, parent education, and passive smoking were asked.
Results: The mean age of 150 patients included in the study was 7.6 (5-10 years). The enuresis group consisted of 36 girls and 42 boys, while the control group consisted of 36 girls and 36 boys. In comparison, the number of household members was 7(3-10) in the enuresis group, 5(4-8) in the control group. There was a significant difference between both groups (p=0.008). When the duration of breastfeeding was evaluated, the significant difference between the enuresis group and the control group was found to be 18 months (p=0.016). There was no difference between the formula and feeding enuresis group and the control group (p=0.599). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of passive smoking and parental education.
Conclusion: One of the most common disorders in childhood is enuresis nocturna. Continuing with age has many negative effects on the child. Our study observed that the incidence of enuresis decreased if breastfeeding was continued for more than 18 months. Readily available breastfeeding positively affects enuresis nocturna, similar to its effect on many aspects of childhood development.

Anne sütü süresi monosemptomatik enürezis nokturnada ne kadar etkili?

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, monosemptomatik enurezis nokturna üzerine anne sütü alımının süresi ve ilişkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Temmuz 2020- Eylül 2020 tarihleri arası üroloji kliniğimize başvuran 78 enürezis nokturna tanısı alan, 72 si kontrol grubu olan 150 çocuk çalışmaya dahil edildi. Anne sütünün süresi, evdeki çocuk sayısı, formül mama ile beslenme, ebeveyn eğitimi ve pasif sigara içiciliği soruldu.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 150 hastanın yaş ortalaması 7,6 (5-10 yıl) idi. Enürezis grubunu 36 kız, 42 erkek oluştururken, kontrol grubunu 36 kız, 36 erkek oluşturdu. Evdeki çocuk sayısı enürezis grubunda 7(3-10) iken, kontrol grubunda 5(4-8) idi. Her iki grup arasında anlamlı fark mevcuttu (p=0,008). Anne sütü ile beslenme süresi değerlendirildiğinde enürezis grubu ile kontrol grubu arasındaki anlamlı fark 18 ay olarak bulundu (p=0,016). Formül mama ile beslenme enürezis grubu ve kontrol grubu arasında fark yoktu (p=0,599). Pasif sigara içiciliği ve ebeveynlerin eğitimi açısından her iki grup arasında fark yoktu.
Sonuç: Çocukluk çağında sık görülen rahatsızlıklardan birisi de enürezis nokturnadır. Yaşla birlikte devam etmesi çocuk da olumsuz birçok etki ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Çalışmamızda 18 aydan fazla emzirmeye devam edilirse enurezis nokturna görülme sıklığının azaldığı saptanmıştır. Ulaşılabilirliği kolay olan emzirmenin, çocukluk gelişiminin birçok yönü üzerindeki etkisine benzer şekilde, enürezis nokturna üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi vardır.
