  2. Underactive bladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underactive_Bladder

    DU itself is often linked to a weak detrusor muscle (impaired contractility), however this association is weak. Both UAB and DU have been associated with diminished sensitivity to bladder volumes rather than objective detrusor weakness, suggesting both symptoms (UAB) and function (DU) have a significant component of sensory dysfunction, leading ...

  3. Detrusor muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detrusor_muscle

    The detrusor muscle, also detrusor urinae muscle, muscularis propria of the urinary bladder and (less precise) muscularis propria, is smooth muscle found in the wall of the bladder. The detrusor muscle remains relaxed to allow the bladder to store urine , and contracts during urination to release urine.

    Detrusor muscle weakness and/or instability; Diabetes; Use of ketamine [12] Neurological conditions; for example multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, cauda equina syndrome; Prostatitis, including IgG4-related prostatitis [13] [14] [15] Urethral stricture; Urinary tract infections (UTIs) [16]

  5. Neurogenic bladder dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_bladder_dysfunction

    In spastic neurogenic bladder (also known as upper motor neuron or hyper-reflexive bladder), the muscle of the bladder and urethral sphincter do not work together and are usually tightly contracted at the same time. This phenomenon is also called detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia (DESD).

  6. Bladder sphincter dyssynergia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_sphincter_dyssynergia

    Bladder sphincter dyssynergia (also known as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) (the ICS standard terminology agreed 1998) [1] and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO)) is a consequence of a neurological pathology such as spinal injury [2] or multiple sclerosis [3] which disrupts central nervous system regulation of the micturition (urination) reflex resulting in dyscoordination of the ...

  7. Dyssynergia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyssynergia

    Bladder sphincter dyssynergia also known as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia is the decrease of detrusor (wall muscle of the bladder) pressure which causes unwanted urination. This is very common in spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis patients. There is a malfunction between the central nervous system, urinary sphincters, and detrusor ...

  8. Urinary incontinence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_incontinence

    Continence and micturition involve a balance between urethral closure and detrusor muscle activity (the muscle of the bladder). During urination, detrusor muscles in the wall of the bladder contract, forcing urine out of the bladder and into the urethra. At the same time, sphincter muscles surrounding the urethra relax, letting urine pass out ...

  9. Bladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder

    The detrusor muscle is the muscular layer of the wall made of smooth muscle fibers arranged in spiral, longitudinal, and circular bundles. [8] The detrusor muscle is able to change its length. It can also contract for a long time whilst voiding, and it stays relaxed whilst the bladder is filling. [9]
