Question 1

what are?treatments for?neurogenic bladder ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If the onset is very recent and is due to nerve compression that can be reversed it may be curable with surgery. An example is an acute lumbar disc herniation that causes neurogenic bladder. If the condition is chronic it is less likely to respond to treatment though it still may. In chronic cases treatment usually focuses on managing the problem and may include self catheterization.

Question 2

i have a neurogenic bladder is there a cure?

Accepted Answer

Essentially no.: Bruising of spinal cord can cause temporary neurogenic bladder which resolves spontaneously. Occasional cure has been reported by nerve transfer and anastomosis and is a possible hope for the future. Urinary incontinence can be managed in most cases by intermittent catheterization, with or without medication, artificial urinary sphincters, bladder augmentation or urinary diversions etc.

Question 3

is there a cure for a neurogenic bladder?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Actually it depends on the cause of neurogenic bladder. Neurogenic bladder means a bladder that does not work correctly due to a fault in the nerve supply. Usually the cause is not treatable e.g. Paralysis due to stroke. If the cause happens to be treatable then the bladder will get better.

Question 4

my brother has a neurogenic bladder. is there a cure for this?

Accepted Answer

This would be : Dependent on several factors including the age of your brother, how long standing the problem is as well as its severity along with the reason or cause of the neurogenic bladder.  He needs to see a urologist.

Question 5

i have a neurogenic bladder. is there a cure for this type of? condition?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If the onset is very recent and is due to nerve compression that can be reversed it may be curable. An example is an acute lumbar disc herniation that is treated quickly with surgery. If the condition is chronic it is less likely to respond to treatment though it still may. In chronic cases treatment usually focuses on managing the problem.

Question 6

what is the treatment for neurogenic bladder?

Accepted Answer

Individualized: There are different types of neurogenic bladder. Common causes might be multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or stroke. In general, the bladder's function is to store and void urine, both of which can be disrupted. Goals of treatment should be to allow low pressure storage of urine and adequate emptying at a convenient time. Self catherization and medication are often used to accomplish this.

Question 7

what is treatment for neurogenic bladder for women?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Neurogenic bladder is a non-specific diagnosis. You can have a neurogenic bladder that is overactive (urinary frequency, urgency) or a neurogenic bladder that has lost its ability to squeeze or empty. Nonetheless neurogenic bladder changes are associated with underlying neurologic problems and the list is quite long. Some examples include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease

Question 9

is neurostimulation effective treatment for neurogenic bladder, my doctor says success rate is very high.how does this treatment works ?

Accepted Answer

We're not sure...: Sacral neuromodulation is a procedure that involves placing wires near the nerves that control the bladder and pelvic floor muscles as they exit the spinal column.  Electric signals sent via a generator travel down the wires to stimulate the nerves.  For reasons still not entirely clear, bladder function improves.  This is an fda-approved treatment for urinary urgency, frequency, and retention.

Question 10

will methylcobalamin750 mcg and pregabalin75 mg is effective in treatment of neurogenic bladder urine retention or what will be other treatment?thanks

Accepted Answer

B12: Neither of these treatments are used in neurogenic bladder commonly. Methylcobalamin, a B12 precursor, would be needed if one was deficient to allow small nerves to heal but not specific to bladder. Lyrica (pregabalin) does not typically help neurogenic bladder symptoms, despite helping neuropathic pain in many conditions.
