Neurological Disorders Affecting Bladder Control

Neurological disorders affecting bladder control occur when the brain and nerves that manage bladder function are impaired. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and spinal cord injuries can disrupt the signals between the brain and the bladder. This disruption can lead to issues like urgency, incontinence, or difficulty emptying the bladder. These problems arise because the brain may not properly process the need to urinate, or the nerves may misinterpret signals, leading to loss of control, discomfort, and inconvenience. Effective management often requires a combination of medical treatment and lifestyle adjustments.
