What does "Neurogenic bladder" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.
Neurogenic bladder is a condition where a person lacks bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord or nerve problem. This can lead to either overactivity, where the bladder muscles squeeze too often or without warning, or underactivity, where the bladder muscles are too weak to fully empty the bladder. It can result from various diseases or injuries that affect the nervous system. Symptoms can include urinary incontinence, frequent urination, or inability to urinate.
