CARING FOR PATIENTS WITH NEUROGENIC URINARY BLADDER AFTER STROKE
Abstract:
Patients with stroke can have abnormal filling
and emptying of the urinary bladder due to bladder
sphincterian dysfunctions of neurological origin. The
presence of urinary incontinence has a profound effect on
patient’s life quality by altering their social and

medication) has proven its efficiency in controlling
incontinence. Adequate bladder rehabilitation has to be
done by a competent and devoted team which has to act
with patience on a long term basis.
