There are two major types of bladder control problems linked to neurogenic bladder. Depending on the nerves involved and the nature of the damage, your bladder becomes either overactive (spastic or hyper-reflexive) or underactive (flaccid or hypotonic).

A spinal cord injury sometimes interrupts communication between the brain and the nerves in the spinal cord that control bladder and bowel function. This can cause bladder and bowel dysfunction known as neurogenic bladder or ...

Heavy metal poisoning. Birth defects that affect the spinal cord. Brain or spinal cord tumors. Stroke. Herniated disks. Multiple sclerosis. Parkinson disease.
Neurogenic bladder is caused by damage to the nerves that allow you to control the timing of urination. Treatments for neurogenic bladder can include physical therapy, medication, or interventional procedures.
Vaginal delivery can weaken muscles needed for bladder control and damage bladder nerves and supportive tissue, leading to a dropped (prolapsed) pelvic floor. With prolapse, the bladder, uterus, rectum or small intestine can get pushed down from the usual position and protrude into the vagina.
The primary symptom is urinary incontinence. People continually release small amounts of urine. Men tend to have erectile dysfunction. Some people with spastic neurogenic bladder also need to urinate frequently, often urgently, with a need to get up during the night to do so.
