Could a simple surgery stop bedwetting? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07424651
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explored whether a condition called meatal stenosis (a narrow urinary opening) is linked to bedwetting in boys aged 7 to 12. Researchers treated 400 boys with both conditions using a surgical procedure called meatoplasty. The goal was to see if fixing the narrow opening also resolved bedwetting.
