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 ...
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 ...
[6] [11] Urethral pressure monitoring is another less-invasive approach to assessing detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. [11] These studies can be repeated at regular intervals, especially if symptoms worsen or to measure response to therapies. [9] Evaluation of kidney function through blood tests such as serum creatinine should be obtained. [6]
The cause of this might be detrusor overactivity, in which the bladder muscle (the detrusor) contracts unexpectedly during bladder filling. Urodynamics can be used to confirm the presence of detrusor overactivity, which may help guide treatment. An overactive detrusor can be associated with urge incontinence. The American Urogynecologic Society ...
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 ...
Solifenacin, sold as the brand name Vesicare [a] among others, is a medicine used to treat overactive bladder and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). [1] [2] It may help with incontinence, urinary frequency, and urinary urgency. [3] Benefits appear similar to other medications in the class. [4] It is taken by mouth. [1]
Adults should drink water and most other fluids, including juice and sports drinks. Children can benefit from Pedialyte and other similar electrolyte solutions that are specifically formulated for ...
[1] [2] Diagnosis is typically based on measuring the amount of urine in the bladder after urinating. [1] Treatment is typically with a catheter either through the urethra or lower abdomen. [1] [3] Other treatments may include medication to decrease the size of the prostate, urethral dilation, a urethral stent, or surgery. [1]
