Subscribe now >> Neurogenic Bladder For the urinary system to work right, the muscles and nerves must work together to hold urine in the bladder and then release it at the right time. Nerves carry messages from the bladder to the brain, letting the brain know when the bladder is full. The nerves carry messages from the brain to the muscles of the bladder telling them either to tighten or release. In a neurogenic bladder, the nerves that are supposed to carry these messages do not work properly. Neurogenic bladder can lead to different kinds of problems. It may result in urine leakage if the muscles holding urine in do not get the right message. For other people, a neurogenic bladder means that their muscles do not get the message that it is time to let go. If the bladder becomes too full, urine may back up into the kidneys, and the extra pressure causes damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidney. Or urine that stays too long may lead to an infection in the bladder or ureters, which are the tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder. Accidents that cause trauma to the brain or spinal cord, heavy metal poisoning, diabetes, and acute infections are among the ways nerves and nerve pathways can be damaged. Some children are born with nerve problems, which can keep a baby's bladder from releasing urine, leading to urinary infections or kidney damage.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Neurogenic bladder Definition Neurogenic bladder is a dysfunction that results from interference with the normal nerve pathways associated with urination. Description Normal bladder function is dependent on the nerves that sense the fullness of the bladder (sensory nerves) and on those that trigger the muscle movements that either empty it or retain urine (motor nerves). The reflex to urinate is triggered when the bladder fills to 300-500 ml. The bladder is then emptied when the contraction of the bladder wall muscles forces urine out through the urethra. The bladder, internal sphincters, and external sphincters may all be affected by nerve disorders that create abnormalities in bladder function. There are two categories of neurogenic bladder dysfunction: overactive (spastic or hyper-reflexive) and underactive (flaccid or hypotonic). An overactive neurogenic bladder is characterized by uncontrolled, frequent expulsion of urine from the bladder. There is reduced bladder capacity and incomplete emptying of urine. An underactive neurogenic bladder has a capacity that is extremely large (up to 2000 ml). Due to a loss of the sensation of bladder filling, the bladder does not contract forcefully, and small amounts of urine dribble from the urethra as the bladder pressure reaches a breakthrough point. There are numerous causes for neurogenic bladder dysfunction and symptoms vary depending on the cause. An overactive bladder is caused by interruptions in the nerve pathways to the bladder occurring above the sacrum (five fused spinal vertebrae located just above the tailbone or coccyx). This nerve damage results in a loss of sensation and motor control and is often seen in

The muscles and nerves of the urinary system work together to hold urine in the bladder and then release it at the appropriate time. Nerves carry messages from the bladder to the brain and from the brain to the muscles of the bladder telling them either to tighten or release. In a neurogenic bladder , the nerves that are supposed to carry these messages do not work properly. Problems often associated with a neurogenic bladder: urine leakage - this often occurs when the muscles holding urine in do not get the right message. urine retention - this often happens if the muscles holding urine in do not get the message that it is time to let go. damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidney - this often happens if the bladder becomes too full and urine backs up into the kidneys, causing extra pressure. infection of the bladder or ureters - often resulting from urine that is held too long before being eliminated.

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Neurogenic bladder Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem in which there is abnormal emptying of the bladder with subsequent retention or incontinence of urine. Depending on the type of nervous damage, the bladder may empty spontaneously (incontinence) or may not empty at all (retention with overflow leakage). Some of the common causes for neurogenic bladder are nervous system tumor , trauma, or inflammatory conditions (such as multiple sclerosis).
