The symptoms of a Neurogenic bladder include.
Urinary tract infection (UTI)
Kidney stones.
Urinary incontinence (unable to control urine)
Small urine volume during voiding.
Urinary frequency and urgency.
Dribbling urine.
Loss of feeling that the bladder is full.
A Neurogenic Bladder which is also known as Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction, is when a person lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems.
Several muscles and nerves must work together for your bladder to hold urine until you are ready to empty.
Complications of neurogenic bladder may include: Constant urine leakage that can cause skin to break down and lead to pressure sores.
Kidney damage if the bladder becomes too full, causing pressure to build up in the tubes leading to the kidneys and in the kidneys themselves.
While neurogenic bladder can't be cured, necessarily, it can most definitely be managed.
Most cases of neurogenic bladder can be managed with medication and intermittent catheterization.
The minority of children with the condition need major reconstructive surgery.
Neurogenic bladder is bladder dysfunction (flaccid or spastic) caused by neurologic damage.
Symptoms can include overflow incontinence, frequency, urgency, urge incontinence, and retention.
Risk of serious complications (eg, recurrent infection, vesicoureteral reflux, autonomic dysreflexia) is high.
