Neurogenic Bladder

When neurological (nervous system) conditions affect the bladder, it is called neurogenic bladder. There are two major types of bladder control problems that are associated with a neurogenic bladder. Depending on the nerves involved and the nature of the damage, the bladder becomes either overactive (spastic or hyper-reflexive) or underactive (flaccid or hypotonic). Neurogenic bladder can be congenital (present at birth). Birth defects can cause neurogenic bladder.
