Neurogenic bladder

With a neurogenic bladder, the nerves that carry signals from the bladder to the brain and from the brain to the muscles do not function properly or fail to send the proper signal. 

Symptoms:

• Urine leakage and/or retention
• Bladder or ureteral infection  

The diagnosis of neurogenic bladder is determined through examination of both the nervous system and the bladder. 

Treatment modalities:

• Artificial sphincter
• Catheterization
• Medical therapy
