Stroke-related Urological disorders

Stroke-related urological disorders refer to urinary issues that can occur following a stroke. When a stroke affects the brain regions controlling bladder function, individuals may experience problems like frequent urination, urgency, or incontinence. This can happen because the muscles involved in bladder control may not work properly. In neurourology, professionals focus on understanding and managing these conditions by using techniques such as bladder training, medications, or sometimes surgery, to help improve quality of life for those affected. Addressing these disorders is an essential aspect of stroke recovery and rehabilitation.
