Contemporary management of the neurogenic bladder for multiple sclerosis patients.
Urinary symptoms related to multiple sclerosis (MS) present a complex challenge for the treating physician. However, several treatment options are available for the symptomatic patient once the physician understands basic MS disease epidemiology and pathophysiology. Depending of disease status and symptoms, MS urinary symptoms may respond to directed behavioral, pharmacologic, intravesical, neuromodulation, or surgical therapies.
