Urinary incontinence mostly affects older people but can occur at any age. It may affect as many as 1 of 5 younger adults to some extent; the rate rises to about 1 of 3 older people. In most age groups, urinary incontinence is more common in women than in men. Urinary incontinence differs somewhat among age groups. Incontinence experienced by younger adults tends to begin suddenly, and it often resolves quickly with little or no treatment. Also, when younger adults experience incontinence, they usually maintain control without leakage for most of their episodes of urination. Older adults are often more frequently and severely affected. In addition, incontinence is less likely to resolve quickly or without treatment in older adults.

What is the Definition of Neurogenic Bladder? This is a dysfunction of the urinary bladder caused by a problem of the nervous system. Types of neurogenic bladder are spastic bladder, reflex bladder, and flaccid bladder. It is also called neuropathic bladder. top ^ Description of Neurogenic Bladder Neurogenic bladder is impaired bladder function resulting from damage to the nerves that govern the urinary tract. Various nerves converge in the area of the bladder and serve to control the muscles of the urinary tract, which includes the sphincter muscles that normally form a tight ring around the urethra to hold urine back until it is voluntarily released. A variety of factors can damage these nerves and cause urinary incontinence . In some cases, spontaneous nerve impulses to the bladder trigger spastic unexpected bladder contractions, resulting in accidental voiding of sometimes large amounts of urine.

The bladder, located in the pelvis, is a hollow, muscular, balloon shaped organ that stores urine. The kidneys make urine when they filter the blood. Urine flows from the kidneys through a pair of thin tubes, the ureters, to the bladder, where it is stored until a person urinates. During urination, muscles in the wall of the bladder contract, forcing urine out of the bladder and into a tube called the urethra. At the same time, the sphincter muscles that surround the urethra relax. Nerves carry messages from the bladder to the brain, telling the brain that the bladder is full. Then the brain sends messages back to the muscles of the bladder, telling them either to tighten or release. For the urinary system to work right, these muscles and nerves must work together to hold urine in the bladder and then release it at the right time.

Urology What is a Neurogenic Bladder? Christopher S. Cooper, M.D., Pediatric Urologist Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed First Published: March 2004 Last Revised: March 2004 ureters . Most people empty their bladder five or six times a day. When your child is unable to completely empty the bladder, it overfills. Pressure backs up the ureter to the kidneys. This can cause pressure on the kidneys, which may damage them. Urine may also go back up the ureters, which is called urinary reflux . Reflux may allow bladder infections to reach the kidneys. Often there are problems with the bladder emptying out completely. Urine left in the bladder makes a good place for germs to grow and cause a urinary tract infection. The second problem is that your child must be able to control when they urinate, so they no longer have to wear diapers or training pants, or worry about accidents. The goal is for your child to be able to control their bladder by school age. Wet pants cause odor, red and sore skin, urinary tract infections, and embarrassment. Most children with a neurogenic bladder will need to start clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). You and your pediatric urologist (a doctor specializing in problems of the urinary tract in children) will decide when to start CIC. CIC involves emptying urine out of the bladder on a regular schedule using a small tube (catheter). CIC reduces the pressure in the bladder and kidneys. It drains urine to prevent infection and will help your child stay dry.

Search this Topic Children's Health Neurogenic Bladder Question: My 2 year old daughter was diagnosed with a neurogenic bladder shortly after birth due to sacroagenesis. At this time the only treatment I have been offered for her by her urologist is Ditropan and CIC, what are other options available? Are there any other options? She does not have reflux, her bladder is constantly contracting. I have been told it is small for her size. Answer: The current treatment plan for your daughter's neurogenic bladder is the standard starting place for management. Obviously intermittent catheterization will become more of an issue for both of you as she grows up and enters the world of school and peers. It is important to speak with a qualified, experienced urological surgeon about the surgical options that would offer alternative care strategies. The goal of all of them is preservation of kidney function and urinary continence. Among the options are cutaneous catheterizable continent stomas, that is a urinary opening on the skin surface, in either the umbilicus (belly button) or on the surface of the abdomen. These can be wonderful options but have a fairly frequent need for a secondary revision due to complications, so it would be important to ask about each individual surgeon's complication rate with each type of procedure.

Home Neurogenic Bladder Neurogenic Bladder Programs that treat this condition or perform this procedure Neurourolgy Program What is a neurogenic bladder? 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 spinal cord and then to the brain and from the brain, down the spinal cord to the muscles of the bladder and sphincter, telling them either to tighten or release. (See Urinary Tract Anatomy). In a child with neurogenic bladder dysfunction, the nerves that are supposed to carry these messages do not work properly, essentially paralyzing the bladder and/or the sphincter. Neurogenic bladder may also be called neuropathic bladder. What causes neurogenic bladder? In children a neurogenic bladder may be secondary to a birth defect usually involving the spinal cord or it may be acquired as the result of a different problem. The following are some of the most common causes of neurogenic bladder: spina bifida - a defect in the spinal cord and spinal bony formation that occurs during early fetal development. The defect consists of incomplete bony closure of the spinal canal and injury to the developing spinal cord. Some types of spina bifida are obvious with an open defect of the back noted at birth, while others are subtle and only detected by careful inspection of the spine and legs.
