Neurogenic bladder

-


The normal task of the urinary bladder is to discharge and store urine in a controlled and coordinated manner.This activity is regulated by the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurogenic bladder is a condition in which any damage with the nervous system affect the bladder and urination. People suffered with neurogenic bladder loss control of their bladder which prevents the bladder from emptying properly.

Symptoms

Neurogenic bladder symptoms range from detrusor underactivity to overactivity depending on the damage with the nervous system. The urinary sphincter also may be affected, resulting in sphincter underactivity or overactivity and loss of sphincter coordination with bladder function.

Urinating in small amounts, but frequently (eight times or more per day).

Problems urinating and fully emptying the bladder.

Urgency to urinate.

Loss of bladder control.

Symptoms of an underactive bladder include:

Bladder filling beyond normal capacity and leaking.

Inability to feel when bladder is full.

Urinary retention - which can increase the risk of urinary tract infection.

Causes

Damage of the central nervous system commonly cause neurogenic bladder. These can include:

Alzheimer disease    
                  
Birth defects of the spinal cord like  spina bifida

Spinal cord or brain tumors

Encephalitis

Cerebral palsy

Multiple sclerosis (MS)

Stroke

Spinal cord injury

Learning disabilities such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Parkinson disease

Health conditions that can result in neurogenic bladder include:

Nerve damage (neuropathy)

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Nerve damage from a herniated disk or spinal canal stenosis

Nerve damage due to pelvic surgery

Nerve damage from syphilis

Nerve damage due to long-term diabetes

Diabetes

 Depends upon the correct diagnosis by a careful medical and voiding history, with lot of clinical examinations like urodynamics and  selective radiographic imaging studies, results the proper therapy for neurogenic bladder and a successful treatment.

Guillain barre syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a disease affected the nervous system. It is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. This means it cause body's immune system to attack its own tissues. This disease starts when the immune system attacks and damages something called myelin . That’s a layer of insulation that surrounds nerves. It also helps nerves transmit their messages. Usually, weakness begins in both legs and moves up the body. GBS damages the peripheral nervous system . That’s the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. They help the central nervous system communicate with the rest of your body, including the skin, heart, and muscles. GBS often starts a few days or weeks after an infection like the cold or flu. People with this syndrome are hospitalized immediately because symptoms can worsen rapidly. Immune globulin given intravenously or plasma exchange speeds recovery. Signs and symptoms Guillain-Barre syndrome often begins with tingling a

What is Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury?

Any damage to the spinal cord that has not been caused by a major trauma may led to Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury . It occurs when spinal cord has been damaged in other ways such as infection, loss of blood supply, compression by a cancer or through slow degeneration of the spinal bones (vertebrae) such as in osteoarthritis. The spinal cord acts as a connector between the brain and the body; the brain sends signals out through nerves that run down the spinal cord, and from there other nerves go out into the body. These control things like movement of muscles, but also other functions such as sweating, urination and defecation. The body also sends signals up through the spinal cord to the brain via other nerves giving information about touch, temperature, position and pain. The brain can no longer send or receive information to or from the parts of the body if spinal cord gets injured. In a nontraumatic spinal injury, something has happened that has stopped the connection b

Stroke Treatment

Stroke treatment may vary depending on whether the stroke is caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a brain bleed (hemorrhagic stroke). It involves drugs, surgery, or other therapies. Treatments for stroke will give to the patient as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of permanent brain damage . Treatment for Ischemic Stroke Ischemic strokes happen when a blood clot in an artery blocks the flow of blood and oxygen to a portion of the brain. With this type of stroke, the goal is to restore blood flow to the brain as quickly as possible. A number of medications may be given at the hospital to help break up the clot and prevent the formation of new clots. These medications may include: Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA, alteplase): Alteplase or tPA is a thrombolytic medication, often referred to as a clot buster. These drugs must be started within a few hours after stroke symptoms first appear. They will quickly break up or dissolve blood clots that a
