Neurourology deals with bladder, sphincter and sexual function when the nervous system is affected. Spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, diabetes and spina bifida can all disturb the signals between the brain and the bladder, causing leakage, retention, infection and kidney damage.
The first priority is protecting the kidneys, and a urology hospital in Mumbai with nephrology and imaging support in one network can follow both the bladder and the kidneys together. Assessment uses bladder pressure studies (urodynamics), ultrasound and kidney function tests. Treatment may include medicines, timed or intermittent catheterisation, injections into the bladder muscle and, in selected patients, surgery. Risks include urinary infection, stones, catheter-related problems and the need for lifelong follow-up.
