Detrusor Sphincter Dyssynergia

Detrusor sphincter dyssynergia is a condition where there is a lack of coordinated control between the bladder (detrusor muscle) and the sphincter muscles that keep urine in the bladder. When the bladder tries to contract to release urine, the sphincter instead tightens, leading to difficulties in urination. This can cause urinary retention, infections, and discomfort. It's often seen in individuals with certain neurological conditions, such as spinal cord injuries or multiple sclerosis. Treatment typically involves managing symptoms, which may include medications, catheterization, or physical therapy.
