Parkinson's Disease and Urological issues

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination due to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. In the context of neurourology, individuals with Parkinson's may experience urological issues, such as urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence. These problems arise because the disease can disrupt the brain's control over bladder function, leading to difficulties in managing urinary needs. Proper management and treatment of these urological symptoms are important for improving quality of life in individuals living with Parkinson's Disease.
