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.
