Video Summary
Neurogenic bladder is a type of bladder dysfunction that is caused by damage to the nerves related to the bladder control. It is characterized by difficulty emptying the bladder normally, as a result of either damage to the peripheral nerves, brain, or spinal cord.
Neurogenic bladder can occur as a result of various conditions, such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. Related bladder dysfunctions could be overflow incontinence, where the bladder fills up to capacity and then dribbles out of the urethra, or urge incontinence, where an individual feels frequent urges to urinate.
