Uninhibited neurogenic bladder in adults.
The uninhibited neurogenic bladder is a common entity. It is characterized by urge incontinence, frequency, enuresis, and recurrent urinary tract infections. The diagnosis can only be made by a thorough urologic investigation, including cystometrography. A sound treatment program involves the use of anticholinergic medication to abolish uninhibited contractions, frequent voiding to keep intravesical pressure low, and antibiotic treatment when indicated for concurrent infection.
