Bladder Control Problems after Stroke

Bladder control problems after a stroke occur when the brain loses its ability to manage bladder function effectively. A stroke can damage the areas of the brain that control urination, leading to issues such as urgency, frequent urination, or incontinence. These challenges can significantly impact a person’s daily life and emotional well-being. Treatment options may include bladder training, medications, or pelvic floor exercises, and working with healthcare professionals can help improve control and quality of life. Addressing these issues is essential for recovery and independence post-stroke.
