The topic Neuropathic Bladder you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Neurogenic Bladder.

Quick Summary:

• Neurogenic Bladder is a condition where there is loss of control over urination due to damage to the brain, spinal cord, or the nerves regulating the bladder and urination
• It is mainly classified into 2 types depending on the site of the injury:
  • Hypertonic, spastic, or overactive bladder: It is due to increased contraction of the bladder muscle or problems with control of urinary sphincter secondary to damage to the brain or spinal cord
  • Hypotonic, flaccid, or underactive bladder: It is due to the failure of bladder muscles to contract secondary to peripheral nerve damage             
• Neurogenic Bladder mainly occurs in elderly adults and individuals affected by stroke, multiple sclerosis, or neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, and even by trauma due to accidents
• These conditions damage the neuronal network regulating urination, resulting in Neurogenic Bladder. The individuals are unable to control urination causing an over-accumulation or dribbling of urine with complications such as urinary tract infection, renal failure or skin infection in genital areas
• Even though most of the cases of Neurogenic Bladder cannot be cured completely, with appropriate medical and nursing care the patients are able to lead a normal life
