Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity

Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity is a condition where the bladder's muscle contracts too much due to issues with the nervous system. This can cause frequent or urgent urination and sometimes incontinence. It often occurs in people with neurological conditions, such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, or stroke. The brain and nerves improperly signal the bladder to empty, leading to uncomfortable symptoms. Treatment options may include medications, bladder training, or devices that enhance bladder control to improve quality of life.
