Bladder Dysfunction in Neurologic Conditions

Bladder dysfunction in neurologic conditions refers to problems with bladder control that can occur due to neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or stroke. These conditions can disrupt signals between the brain and bladder, leading to issues like frequent urination, urgency, or incontinence. Patients may struggle to empty their bladder completely or may experience difficulty starting urination. Managing bladder dysfunction often involves a combination of medications, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, medical devices or interventions to improve quality of life and prevent complications.
