Neurogenic bladder - Overview

Definition of Neurogenic bladder:

Neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem in which the bladder does not empty properly. Depending on the type of neurological disorder causing the problem, the bladder may empty spontaneously (incontinence) or may not empty at all (retention with overflow leakage).

Some of the common causes for neurogenic bladder are nervous system tumor, trauma, neuropathy, or inflammatory conditions (such as multiple sclerosis).
