Abstract
The net result of treatment with [male] sex hormone in the 50 cases of enuresis in children shows 54% completely cured, 34% much improved and in 16% there was no improvement or complete failure. This % could no doubt have been improved had there been better and more careful control and management of the case. The effect in some cases was quite dramatic and far more rapid than can be achieved with more general forms of treatment or the purely psychiatric approach to the problem. The use of sex hormone preps, in moderate dosage, even if given over long periods of time in this age group, produced no lasting undesirable effects such as sexual precocity or unusual permanent enlargement of the sex organs.
