    Neuro-urology

    Neurourology is a specialised field within urology that focuses on diagnosing and treating voiding dysfunction in both men and women. This includes a wide range of conditions, including urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and voiding dysfunction stemming from various causes, particularly those related to neurological problems.

    At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, the Urology Center of Excellence features a specialised neuro-urology division. This division is dedicated to treating diseases and functional disorders affecting the lower urinary tract and sexual organs caused by damage or impairment of the associated neural innervation and control.

    Diagnosis of Neurogenic Bladder

    To diagnose a neurogenic bladder, the doctor will review your medical history and conduct a physical examination to assess the type and severity of the disorder. Based on this assessment, the urologist may recommend one or more diagnostic procedures to plan an appropriate treatment strategy.

    These may include urine flow testing or pressure-flow cystometry. Additionally, a test may be conducted to monitor fluid intake and urinary output, potentially involving the use of a catheter to empty the bladder. Furthermore, a cystoscope may be utilised to evaluate the internal anatomy of the bladder.

    Common Neuro-urological Conditions We Treat:

    • Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB): Characterised by frequent and urgent urination, often with small amounts, and bladder leakage.
    • Neurogenic voiding dysfunction: Presents as difficulty emptying the bladder due to nerve damage.
    • Urinary retention: Refers to the inability to pass urine despite having a full bladder.
    • Faecal incontinence: Describes the uncontrolled loss of stools.
    • Neurogenic bowel dysfunction: Indicates difficulty with bowel movements resulting from nerve damage.

    Treatment Options in Neuro-urology

    • Behavioural therapy: This includes bladder training for timed voiding, pelvic floor muscle exercises, and lifestyle adjustments.
    • Medications: These may be prescribed to relax bladder muscles, stimulate bladder contractions, or manage neurological symptoms.
    • Neurostimulation: This involves the implantation of devices that deliver electrical signals to specific nerves to enhance bladder and bowel control.
    • Surgical procedures: For more complex cases, minimally invasive or open surgeries may be recommended to correct anatomical abnormalities or implant devices.

    FAQ's

    The origin of the neurogenic bladder can differ among individuals. However, it is frequently associated with neurological disorders that disrupt typical bladder function. These conditions include spinal cord injuries, stroke, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis (MS).

    In managing the neurogenic bladder, your doctor might suggest lifestyle adjustments. Among the most prevalent modifications is reducing the consumption of fluids containing substances that can irritate the bladder, like beverages containing caffeine such as soda, tea, energy drinks, and chocolate drinks.

    The Urology Department at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, offers comprehensive clinical services for patients with neurogenic bladder conditions. Our team of physicians and researchers is renowned nationally for delivering cutting-edge facilities, which include advanced urodynamic equipment.
