Overview
If you have a neurological condition, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, or cauda equina syndrome, and are experiencing frequent urinary symptoms or infections, you may be living with a neurogenic bladder. This condition can put your kidneys at risk and requires a thorough assessment and specialist care. Mr Malde is experienced in managing neurogenic bladder with a full range of treatments, including Bladder Botox and therapies for Overactive Bladder, ensuring personalised and effective care.
Symptoms of a neurogenic bladder
Neurogenic bladder occurs when brain, spinal cord, or nerve damage disrupts normal bladder control. Symptoms depend on the level of injury. This can make your bladder either too active (resulting in increased urinary frequency, sudden urge to pass urine and incontinence) or too weak (resulting in difficulty emptying the bladder, weak flow, and having to strain to pass urine). If not managed, it can lead to kidney damage over time.
Diagnosis and tests for a neurogenic bladder
Diagnosing a neurogenic bladder starts with a detailed medical history and neurological examination. Mr Malde may recommend:
- Urine Tests: To rule out infections or other issues.
- Bladder Diary: Tracking your fluid intake and urination patterns.
- Ultrasound scan: To assess your kidney function
- Advanced urodynamic Tests: Measuring bladder pressure and function, including bladder emptying tests
In private healthcare, these diagnostics are often available quickly, without long waiting lists, ensuring prompt care in London.
