Without diagnostic evaluation, the cause of underactive bladder is unclear, as there are multiple possible causes. UAB symptoms can accurately reflect impaired bladder emptying due either to DU or obstruction (normal or large storage volumes, elevated post-void residual volume), or can result from a sense of incomplete emptying of a hypersensitive bladder (small storage volumes, normal or ...
It is also known as under-active bladder syndrome. This usually happens with chronic obstruction of the bladder outlet or with diseases damaging the nerves supplying the urinary bladder. The urine stretches the bladder without the person feeling the pressure, and eventually, it overwhelms the ability of the urethral sphincter to hold it back. [28]
Dysautonomia, autonomic failure, or autonomic dysfunction is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not work properly. This condition may affect the functioning of the heart, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, pupils, and blood vessels.
Common findings, determined by ultrasound of the bladder, include a slow rate of flow, intermittent flow, and a large amount of urine retained in the bladder after urination. A normal test result should be 20–25 ml/s peak flow rate. A post-void residual urine greater than 50 ml is a significant amount of urine and increases the potential for ...
Hesitancy [8] (worsened if bladder is very full) [9] Terminal dribbling [8] Incomplete voiding [8] Urinary retention [10] Overflow incontinence (occurs in chronic retention) [10] Episodes of near retention [10] As the symptoms are common and non-specific, LUTS is not necessarily a reason to suspect prostate cancer.

Bladder outlet obstruction is included in the spectrum of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). CAKUT is the most common cause of birth defects, occurring in 1 out of 1000 live births, and accounts for approximately half of all cases of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease in children.
The bladder (from Old English blædre 'bladder, blister, pimple') is a hollow organ in humans and other vertebrates that stores urine from the kidneys. In placental mammals , urine enters the bladder via the ureters and exits via the urethra during urination .
Decline in bladder outlet is the process of gradual atrophy in the distal structures to the bladder in the urinary system. [1] It happens along with atrophy of the reproductive system in females. It is one of the contributing factors for disorders like stress incontinence. [2] It is commonly associated with decline in urethral resistance ...
