NEUROUROLOGY AND URODYNAMICS:

Neurourology and urodynamics is a sub-specialty of urology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary disorders caused by neurological diseases or injuries. This includes conditions such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and bladder dysfunction.

The diagnosis of these conditions may involve a range of tests, including urodynamic testing, cystoscopy, and imaging studies. Treatment options can include medication, behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and surgery.

Here are some common treatment options for neurourology and urodynamics:

• Medications: Medications may be prescribed to treat the underlying condition that is causing the nerve damage or dysfunction. This may include antibiotics for urinary tract infections or medication to treat an overactive bladder.
• Bladder training: Bladder training involves teaching patients techniques to retrain their bladder to empty on a regular schedule and reduce symptoms of urgency and frequency.
• Electrical stimulation: Electrical stimulation involves using mild electrical currents to stimulate the nerves that control bladder function.
• Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat nerve damage or dysfunction affecting the urinary system.
