Neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem in which the bladder does not empty properly due to a neurological condition.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Several muscles and nerves must work together for your bladder to hold urine until you're ready to empty it. Nerve messages go back and forth between the brain and the muscles that control bladder emptying. If these nerves are damaged by illness or injury, the muscles may not be able to tighten or relax at the right time.
Common causes for neurogenic bladder include:
-
Alzheimer's disease -
Diabetic neuropathy -
Multiple sclerosis - Neuropathy
- Nervous system tumor
- Spinal cord injury
- Stroke recovery
