Neurogenic Bladder: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment, Diapositivas de Patología
An overview of neurogenic bladder, a condition where the nerves that control the bladder do not function properly. causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, as well as potential complications. Possible causes include diabetes, infections, injuries, genetic nerve problems, and tumors. Symptoms may include urinary incontinence, small urine volume, and urinary frequency. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and urodynamic studies. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medicines, catheters, surgery, and electrical devices.

Neurogenic Bladder

What is a neurogenic bladder?
- (^) The muscles and nerves of the urinary system work together to hold and release urine at the right time.
- (^) Nerves carry messages between the bladder and the spinal cord and brain.
- (^) The messages tell the muscles of the bladder to either tighten or release.
- (^) In neurogenic bladder, these nerves don’t work the way they should.
What are the symptoms of the
neurogenic bladder?
These are the most common symptoms of neurogenic bladder:
- (^) 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
How is neurogenic bladder
diagnosed?
- (^) X-rays of the skull and spine. This imaging test uses invisible energy beams to make images of tissues, bones, and organs.
- (^) Imaging tests of the bladder and ureters
- (^) Ultrasound (also called sonography). This imaging test uses high- frequency sound waves to create images of the organs on a computer screen.
- (^) Cystoscopy. through the urethra to examine the urinary tract. It checks for structure changes or blockages, such as tumors or stones.
- (^) Tests that involve filling the bladder, such as urodynamics. These tests show how much the bladder can hold and check to see if it fully empties.
What are the complications of a
neurogenic bladder?
- (^) Urine leakage often happens when the muscles holding urine in do not get the right message.
- (^) Urine retention happens if the muscles holding urine in do not get the message that it is time to pass urine.
- (^) Damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidney may happen if the bladder becomes too full and urine backs up into the kidneys. This causes extra pressure and may lead to blood in the urine.
- (^) Infection of the bladder, ureters, or kidneys often results from urine that is held too long before it’s passed out of the body.
Key points about neurogenic
bladder
- (^) In neurogenic bladder, the nerves that carry messages back-and-forth between the bladder and the spinal cord and brain don’t work the way they should.
- (^) Damage or changes in the nervous system and infection can cause neurogenic bladder.
- (^) Treatment is aimed at preventing kidney damage. It may include medicine, urinary catheters, antibiotics to reduce the chance of infection, and, in severe cases, surgery.
- (^) Some complications of include urine leakage, inability to pass urine, kidney damage, and kidney or urinary tract infections.
