NEUROGENIC BLADDER

Course overview

THE MICTURITION PROCESS IS USUALLY CONTROLLED BY THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, WHICH COORDINATES THE SYMPATHETIC AND PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVATION WITH THE SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM TO ENSURE NORMAL MICTURITION WITH URINARY CONTINENCE. ANY DISTURBANCE IN COORDINATION BETWEEN CNS AND THE SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM RESULTS IN NEUROGENIC BLADDER. THIS ACTIVITY ILLUSTRATES THE EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF NEUROGENIC BLADDER AND HIGHLIGHTS THE ROLE OF THE HEALTHCARE TEAM IN EVALUATING AND TREATING PATIENTS WITH THIS CONDITION.
