What is Reflex Incontinence?
Reflex incontinence is a type of bladder dysfunction characterized by involuntary urination that occurs without a person’s awareness. This condition often results from a disruption in the communication between the brain and the bladder, which can occur due to neurological issues such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. At NAU Urology Specialists, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans to help our patients manage this often-challenging condition effectively.
Recognizing Symptoms and Identifying Causes
Individuals suffering from reflex incontinence may experience symptoms such as sudden urges to urinate, involuntary leakage during physical activities, or frequent bathroom trips with minimal warning. This can lead to significant disruptions in daily life and social situations. Various factors contribute to reflex incontinence, including neurological disorders, bladder overactivity, and certain medications that affect bladder control. Our skilled team conducts a detailed medical history review and clinical assessments to pinpoint the exact causes affecting each patient’s health.
Diagnostic Approach and Treatment Options
Our diagnostic strategy at NAU Urology Specialists involves a thorough approach that may include urodynamic testing, which assesses bladder pressure and urine flow rates, along with imaging studies and bladder diaries to monitor symptoms. Once a clear diagnosis is established, our experts will discuss a range of treatment options tailored to the patient’s specific condition and lifestyle. Treatment may encompass behavioral therapies, pelvic floor muscle exercises, medications, and in certain circumstances, surgical interventions such as sacral nerve stimulation or bladder augmentation. We prioritize patient education so that you can make informed
decisions about your care.
