Damage to the brain or spinal cord is the most common cause of neurogenic bladder. Damage to the brain can be caused by stroke, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy or other neurodegenerative conditions. [8] Bladder involvement is more likely if the damage is in the area of the pons.
The signs and symptoms of autonomic neuropathy include the following: [citation needed] Urinary bladder conditions: urinary incontinence or urinary retention which happens due to the uncoordinated contraction of the bladder. Neurogenic bladder is a broad term used to describe this dysfunction. [1]
In men, prostate surgery (prostatectomy, TURP, etc) and radiation therapy can damage the sphincter and cause stress incontinence. [7] Neurogenic bladder dysfunction can involve a malfunctioning urethral sphincter. [8] Urge incontinence can happen when the urethra cannot hold the urine in as the bladder contracts uncontrollably. [9]
AIED is generally caused by either antibodies or immune cells that cause damage to the inner ear. There are several theories that propose a cause of AIED: Bystander damage – Physical damage to the inner ear may lead to cytokine release that signals for an immune response. This may be a component of the "attack/remission cycle" of AIED. [9]
Chronic urinary retention that is due to bladder blockage which can either be as a result of muscle damage or neurological damage. [7] If the retention is due to neurological damage, there is a disconnect between the brain to muscle communication, which can make it impossible to completely empty the bladder. [ 7 ]
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 ...
The ear is designed to be self-cleaning, but some people are more prone to earwax buildup due to their ear canal shape. For example, very curvy ear canals, narrow ear canals, or surgical ears are ...
When of gradual onset, symptoms may include loss of bladder control, mild lower abdominal pain, and a weak urine stream. [21] Those with long-term problems are at risk of urinary tract infections. [21] Causes include blockage of the urethra, nerve problems, certain medications, and weak bladder muscles. [21]
