Neurogenic Bladder in Children

Neurogenic bladder in children refers to a condition where the nerves that control the bladder do not function properly due to a neurological issue. This can lead to difficulties in storing or releasing urine, resulting in problems like incontinence or urinary retention. It may be caused by conditions such as spina bifida or brain injuries. Treatment typically involves managing symptoms through medications, bladder training, or, in some cases, surgery to ensure the child has a more normal bladder function and to prevent potential complications, like urinary tract infections or kidney damage.
