neurogenic bladder

Urinary problems arise as a result of a neurogenic bladder.

This type of bladder is sometimes called the spastic neurogenic bladder.

See: Bowel retraining and Neurogenic bladder for information about treatment of these conditions.

Some of these recommendations do not come from specific studies in MS but are general recommendations for those who have neurogenic bladder.

Impaired bladder control (neurogenic bladder) and/or mental confusion (dementia) also occur.

Effect of cranberry juice on bacteriuria in children with neurogenic bladder receiving intermittent catheterization.

Neurogenic bladder usually causes difficulty or full inability to pass urine without use of a catheter or other method.

Substances from the urine contact sensory neurons in the bladder, causing pain and neurogenic bladder inflammation.

Effect of cranberry extract on bacteriuria and pyuria in persons with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord injury.

Neurogenic bladder (e.g., associated with spina bifida)

One cause of total incontinence in women is neurogenic bladder, an involuntary contraction of the bladder that forces the release of urine.

The appendix is used for the construction of an efferent urinary conduit, in an operation known as the Mitrofanoff procedure, in people with a neurogenic bladder.

Neurogenic bladder is often associated with spinal cord diseases (such as Syringomyelia/Hydromyelia), injuries, and neural tube defects including spina bifida.

Cranberry is also used for neurogenic bladder (a bladder disease), as well as to deodorize urine in people with urinary incontinence (difficulty controlling urination).

For patients with spinal cord lesions and neurogenic bladder dysfunction, intermittent catheterisation (IC) is a standard method for bladder emptying.

Bladder dysfunction(neurogenic bladder) and bladder cancer Other neurologic findings that may be found in HTLV include:

Neurogenic bladder refers to dysfunction of the urinary bladder due to disease of the central nervous system or peripheral nerves involved in the control of micturition (urination).

In addition, neurogenic bladder may result in involuntary discharge of urine (enuresis), urinary tract infections, and/or abnormal accumulation of urine in the kidneys (hydronephrosis).

Most patients older than the age of toilet training, present with enuresis, urinary-tract infection, hydronephrosis, and a spectrum of radiological abnormalities typical of obstructive or neurogenic bladders.

Recurrent infections may be caused by inefficient urination (benign prostatic hypertrophy, neurogenic bladder), prostatic stones or a structural abnormality that acts as a reservoir for infection.

The procedure is typically performed when the normal outlet is blocked (as in urethral cancer) or when frequent, often uncomfortable, catheterizations are needed (as in neurogenic bladder).

Neurogenic bladder (commonly pelvic splanchic nerve damage, cauda equina syndrome, descending cortical fibers lesion, pontine micturation or storage center lesions, demyelinating diseases or Parkinson's disease)

In February 2008, Dr. Mohan S. Gundeti of the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital performed the first robotic pediatric neurogenic bladder reconstruction.

Functional: Bladder instability, neurogenic bladder and non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder Urinary tract infections may cause reflux due to the elevated pressures associated with inflammation.

Later complications of the mass effect and/or surgery may include neurogenic bladder, other forms of urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and other chronic problems resulting from accidental damage to or sacrifice of nerves and muscles within the pelvis.
