  2. 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.

  3. Underactive bladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underactive_Bladder

    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 ...

  4. Urinary retention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_retention

    Urinary retention is a disorder treated in a hospital, and the quicker one seeks treatment, the fewer the complications. [citation needed] In the longer term, obstruction of the urinary tract may cause: [citation needed] Bladder stones; Atrophy of the detrusor muscle (atonic bladder is an extreme form) Hydronephrosis (congestion of the kidneys)

  5. 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 ...

  6. Urinary incontinence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_incontinence

    This incontinence is associated with sudden forceful contractions of the detrusor muscle (bladder muscle), leading to an intense feeling of urination, and incontinence if the person does not reach the bathroom on time. The syndrome is known as overactive bladder syndrome, and it's related to dysfunction of the detrusor muscle. [24]

  7. Overactive bladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overactive_bladder

    It is often associated with overactivity of the detrusor urinae muscle, a pattern of bladder muscle contraction observed during urodynamics. [17] It is also possible that the increased contractile nature originates from within the urothelium and lamina propria, and abnormal contractions in this tissue could stimulate dysfunction in the detrusor ...

  8. Neurogenic bladder dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_bladder_dysfunction

    Treatment depends on the type of neurogenic bladder and other medical problems. Treatment strategies include catheterization, medications, surgeries or other procedures. The goals of treatment focus on preserving the structure and function of the upper urinary tract, and on improving the quality of life for patients with neurogenic bladder. [2]

  9. 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 ...
