  2. Nocturnal penile tumescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_penile_tumescence

    A full bladder is known to mildly stimulate nerves in the same region. The possibility of a full bladder causing an erection, especially during sleep, is perhaps further supported by the beneficial physiological effect of an erection inhibiting urination, thereby helping to avoid nocturnal enuresis [citation needed].

  3. Sacral anterior root stimulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacral_anterior_root...

    From 1969 onwards Giles Brindley [1] developed the sacral anterior root stimulator, with successful human trials from the early 1980s onwards. Although both sphincter and detrusor muscles are stimulated at the same time, the slower contraction kinetics of the bladder wall (smooth muscle tissue) compared to the sphincter (striated muscle tissue) mean that voiding occurs between the stimulation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacral_nerve_stimulation

    Many studies have been initiated using the sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) technique to treat patients that suffer with urinary problems. [citation needed] When applying this procedure, proper patient screening is essential, because some disorders that affect the urinary tract (like bladder calculus or carcinoma in-situ) have to be treated differently.

  5. Detrusor muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detrusor_muscle

    The bladder also contains β 3 adrenergic receptors, and pharmacological agonists of this receptor are used to treat overactive bladder. The mucosa of the urinary bladder may herniate through the detrusor muscle. [6] This is most often an acquired condition due to high pressure in the urinary bladder, damage, or existing connective tissue ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_stenosis

    Radiculopathy (with or without radicular pain), [20] a neurologic condition in which nerve root dysfunction causes objective signs such as weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of reflex. Cauda equina syndrome: [22] lower extremity pain, weakness, numbness that may involve perineum and buttocks, associated with bladder and bowel dysfunction.

  7. Pelvic splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_splanchnic_nerves

    The pelvic splanchnic nerves are featured as a key plot point in "Parasites Lost", a 2001 episode of the American animated TV comedy Futurama; when protagonist Philip J. Fry is infected with parasitic worms, the rest of the crew use micro-droids to enter his body with the intention of tickling the pelvic splanchnic ganglion to trigger a convulsive bowel movement that they believe will expel ...
