This document provides information on neurogenic bladder. It begins with the anatomy and physiology of normal bladder function controlled by the brain and spinal cord. It then defines neurogenic bladder as any bladder dysfunction caused by disruption of normal bladder innervation, which can be congenital or acquired.
The main types of neurogenic bladder are described as spastic or flaccid, depending on whether the lesion is above or below the lumbosacral spinal cord. Causes include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and congenital conditions. Symptoms vary between types but include issues with storage and emptying of urine. Treatment aims to preserve kidney function and typically involves medications, injections, or surgery to manage symptoms. Ayurved
