Neurogenic Bladder

Discussing difficulties controlling urine with a professional helps to identify problems such as neurogenic bladder in time. It's a disorder in the functioning of the bladder caused by damage to the nerves that control its filling and emptying.

What it is: When the signals between the nervous system and the bladder are interrupted, it can become underactive or overactive, affecting urinary control.

Common symptoms: Urine leakage, difficulty emptying the bladder, frequent urgency, or a sensation of incomplete emptying are among the most common complaints.

Which specialist treats it? Its study falls to the urologist, with support from the nephrologist depending on the case. If you notice persistent changes in how you urinate, it's worth scheduling a medical evaluation.
