What is a neurogenic bladder?
Neurogenic bladder is a condition where nerve damage affects bladder control, leading to issues like incontinence, urinary retention, or frequent urination. This condition can result from neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke. At NAU Urology Specialists, we provide expert diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to help patients manage their symptoms effectively.
Symptoms and causes of neurogenic bladder
Common symptoms of neurogenic bladder include:
- Loss of bladder control (urinary incontinence)
- Frequent urination or urgency
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
This condition is often linked to nerve damage caused by trauma, neurological diseases, or diabetes. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment.
