Complications of nervous bladder and ways to treat it

What is a nervous bladder?.. A nervous or neurogenic bladder is a bladder whose function is impaired due to damage to the nerves of the bladder and failure to receive nerve messages.. Treatment of a nervous bladder restores control of the urinary tract. There are various nerves in the bladder area that control the muscles of the urinary tract and make the person hold his urine until he urinates voluntarily. This process is controlled naturally by the brain and when urinating, a nerve message is sent from the brain to the bladder. - Dripping urine flow - Inability to empty the bladder completely - Feeling of pressure during urination - Lack of bladder control - Increase in urinary infections - A drop of urine - Failure to recognize the fullness of the bladder ### Causes of bladder disorders The failure of the nerve message from the brain to the bladder, which can be due to brain disorders and damage to the bladder nerves, causes this disorder... Some of the brain disorders that cause this disease are: - Alzheimer's disease - Brain and spinal cord tumors - Cerebral palsy - Parkinson's disease - Spinal cord injuries - Congenital defect of the spinal cord - stroke Things that cause damage to the nerves of the bladder include: - Diabetes - Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages - Injuries caused by hip surgery ### What are the complications of a nervous bladder? Damage to the nerves of the bladder prevents the bladder from receiving nerve messages from the brain... This causes the bladder to overfill and not be able to empty it, which is called urinary retention. To ensure his diagnosis, in addition to examining medical records and physical examination, the doctor prescribes diagnostic tests for the patient... These tests include the following: - Cystoscopy, which is done to check the function and capacity of the bladder... - Electromyography is done to check the coordination rhythm of the bladder muscles.. - Kidney and bladder imaging ### Treatment of nervous bladder The doctor may ask the patient to urinate at certain time intervals, which prevents the bladder from being completely filled. In addition, the patient must also record the number of drops of urine. Finally, based on this, the doctor will provide the best treatment for the nervous bladder. One of the treatment options is electrical stimulation of the bladder, which is done by placing very small electrodes in the bladder. When the electrodes are stimulated, they can help improve bladder control by sending electrical pulses to the brain... #### \# medicine There is no specific drug to treat and control nervous bladder disorder, but some drugs are prescribed by the doctor in order to increase or decrease the contraction of the bladder muscles. #### \# Catheter or urinary catheter In some cases, a catheter or urinary catheter may be used at the doctor's suggestion to completely empty the bladder. This process involves inserting a thin plastic tube into the bladder to drain the urine. Since this procedure increases the risk of urinary infection, the patient is prescribed low-dose antibiotics to reduce the risk of urinary infection... #### \# Surgery Surgery is performed to place an artificial sphincter, implant and stent in the bladder, which stimulates the bladder muscles..
