| | Neurogenic Bladder aHealthyAdvantage |
| | Neurogenic bladder is a dysfunction that results from interference with the normal nerve pathways associated with urination. | | | An overactive bladder is caused by interruptions in the nerve pathways to the bladder occurring above the sacrum (five fused spinal vertebrae located just above the tailbone or coccyx). | | | The patient may also stimulate reflex voiding by abdominal tapping or stretching of the anal sphincter. |

| | Bladder cancer usually occurs in men after the years of active reproduction, but some men who have a cystectomy early in life choose to bank their sperm before surgery. | | | In treating bladder cancer, radiation may either come from outside your body (external radiation) or from radioactive materials placed directly into your bladder (internal radiation). | | | Treating bladder cancer that has spread is more difficult and involves more extensive procedures. |

| | The area over the bladder is tapped with the fingertips or the side of the hand, lightly and repeatedly, to stimulate detrusor muscle contractions and voiding. | | | Depending on your type of spinal cord injury, your bladder may become either "floppy" (flaccid) or "hyperactive" (spastic or reflex). | | | This surgical process weakens the bladder neck and sphincter muscle to allow urine to flow out more easily. |
