====== Neurogenic bladder ======

see [[Urinary bladder dysfunction]]

[[Urinary bladder dysfunction]] due to lesions in the central or peripheral nervous systems. Clinical [[manifestation]]s differ based on the location of the lesion.

● [[detrusor muscle]] hyperreflexia (detrusor overactivity (DO)): involuntary contraction of the detrusor
muscle → sensation of urgency & possible urge incontinence

● detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD): detrusor contraction with inappropriate activation of the
external urethral sphincters

● detrusor areflexia: loss of [[bladder]] tone → inability to contract sufficiently for micturition

Elevated [[Postvoid residual volume]] can be indicative of several conditions, including [[urinary retention]], [[neurogenic bladder]] dysfunction, bladder outlet obstruction (such as in benign prostatic hyperplasia in men), [[urinary tract infection]]s, and other urinary tract issues.
