Neurogenic bladder is a condition in which the bladder and urethra become dysfunctional due to a disorder or damage to the nervous system. This dysfunction can affect the bladder's ability to store and void urine, as well as the closed function of the urethra, leading to a range of symptoms and problems. The following are the main types of neurogenic bladder and their brief descriptions:
Neurogenic detrusor overactivity incontinence: This type of neurogenic bladder is characterized by abnormal activity of the detrusor (bladder muscle) that causes the bladder to contract when there is not enough urine, causing urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. This abnormal activity may be due to damage or disorder of the nervous system.
Neurogenic urethral sphincter insufficiency urinary incontinence: This type of neurogenic bladder involves dysfunction of the urethral sphincter (the muscle that controls the expulsion of urine). Urinary incontinence occurs when the urethral sphincter does not close the urethra effectively. This can be due to damage or disorder of the nervous system that causes the urethral sphincter to not work properly.
Acute, chronic urinary retention due to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction: this type of neurogenic bladder is characterized by an inability of the bladder to empty properly, resulting in retention of urine in the bladder.
This may be due to nerve damage or disorder that causes weakness in detrusor contraction or failure of the urethral sphincter to relax properly, preventing urine from being able to pass smoothly. Acute urinary retention occurs suddenly and requires urgent treatment, while chronic urinary retention is long-lasting and can cause long-term damage to the bladder and kidneys.
When the cauda equina nerve is affected, resulting in neurogenic bladder, there are two main types of common symptoms:
One is genitourinary symptoms, such as dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, painful urination, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, incomplete urination, etc. In addition, some patients may also have symptoms of sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, abnormality, abnormality, loss of libido, etc. These symptoms can seriously affect the patient's daily life and work.
Other types of symptoms fall into other categories, such as intestinal and neurological symptoms. Intestinal symptoms may include constipation, fecal incontinence, frequent bowel movements, etc. Neurological symptoms may include paresthesias in the perineal or perianal area, limb movement or paresthesias, limb spasms, autonomic hyperreflexia, etc. These symptoms not only cause physical discomfort to patients, but may also affect their mental health.
Due to the diversity of cauda equina nerve injury disorders, individual symptoms of cauda equina syndrome can be easily confused with other conditions. In addition, because neurogenic bladder is a complication of cauda equina syndrome, some patients may be misdiagnosed with urinary tract infection during the diagnosis process, resulting in an early stage of the disease that is unreasonable and the disease progression more complicated.
The neurogenic bladder is indeed very critical, and it is the basic principle of protecting kidney function, improving bladder urinary storage and solving bladder emptying problems. Because neurogenic bladder is a complication caused by nerve damage, the condition is usually clinically progressive, so patients need regular follow-up after ** so that doctors can adjust ** and follow-up regimens in time.
In addition to modern medical methods such as bladder pacemaker, minimally invasive surgery, fistula and indwelling urinary catheter, traditional Chinese medicine has also achieved remarkable results in neurogenic bladder in recent years, and has been recognized by more and more patients. The advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that it can formulate individualized plans for patients according to different conditions and pathologies, and carry out targeted syndrome differentiation and treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has indeed adopted a unique method of syndrome differentiation and treatment of neurogenic bladder and related stool problems. This approach takes into account the individual differences and specific conditions of different patients, and adopts different prescriptions** to solve the problem more accurately.
First of all, the use of strychnine can indeed stimulate the bladder and increase the contractility of the bladder, which can help improve symptoms such as difficulty urinating. Medicinal herbs such as ginseng and deer antler velvet can promote the regeneration of neurokines and create better conditions for the recovery of the sphincter in the perineal area, which is of great significance for improving the dysfunction of neurogenic bladder.
In addition, the application of crickets is also a major feature. Through nerve reflexes, crickets can directly promote the contraction and urination of the bladder, a mechanism of action that is unique and effective. Drugs such as fairy spleen and psoralen can regulate endocrine, improve metabolism, and further promote the recovery of the bladder.
In terms of constipation and dry knots, it also shows its characteristics of strong targeting and symptomatic conditioning. By prescribing the right medicine, it can effectively promote the recovery of the syndrome composed of multiple symptoms of the patient, thereby improving the patient's quality of life.
In general, in the first neurogenic bladder and related stool problems, we give full play to the advantages of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and accurately solve the specific problems of patients through the method of changing prescriptions with symptoms. This personalized program not only reflects the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine, but also brings better results and quality of life to patients.
