Condition Guide

About Neurogenic bladder/gut

Understand the condition, common triggers and treatment options that may require specialist assessment.

Disease Introduction

  1. Introduction: Neurogenic bladder and neurogenic intestine are lower urinary tract and rectal dysfunctions secondary to nerve damage, which are often seen in spinal cord injury, stroke, and cauda equina damage; the urination and defecation regulation pathway from the brain to the sacral spinal cord is damaged, and the bladder, rectum storage, emptying, and defecation control functions are disordered; in traditional Chinese medicine, it is classified as urinary retention, enuresis, and intestinal obstruction.
  2. Pathological Mechanism: Damage to the central or sacral nerve pathways leads to dyssynergism between the detrusor muscle and urethral sphincter, and abnormal reflexes of the rectal smooth muscle and anal sphincter. The bladder exhibits excessive detrusor activity or weak contraction, and intestinal perception, peristalsis, and defecation control are reduced, making it highly susceptible to upper urinary tract injury and fecal impaction. Traditional Chinese Medicine Pathogenesis: Damage to the Du meridian leads to dysfunction of Qi transformation in the lower Jiao, kidney Qi deficiency, abnormal large intestine conduction, and obstruction of the lumbosacral meridians.
  3. Core symptoms: Abnormal urination: urinary frequency, urgency, urinary incontinence, difficulty urinating, increased residual urine; Abnormal defecation: intractable constipation, fecal incontinence, loss of urge to defecate; May be accompanied by recurrent urinary tract infections, hydronephrosis, abdominal distension, fecal impaction.

Cutting-edge high-precision diagnostic and treatment technologies

  1. Combined assessment of urodynamics, pelvic floor electromyography, and anorectal manometry : to differentiate between high-tension and low-tension bladders and to assess rectal and sphincter function.
  2. Sacral nerve modulation SNM, minimally invasive implantation : modulates the sacral spinal cord reflex arc and simultaneously improves both urination and defecation disorders.
  3. Tibial nerve electrical stimulation and pelvic floor muscle biofeedback : regulate the coordination of pelvic floor neuromuscular function and rebuild the urinary and fecal incontinence reflex.
  4. Ultrasound-guided pelvic floor target intervention and transanal intestinal irrigation (TAI) : treatment of refractory detrusor hyperactivity and intractable fecal impaction.
  5. Urinary and anorectal rehabilitation MDT multidisciplinary integrated assessment : Urology, rehabilitation, anorectal, and acupuncture jointly develop a tiered treatment plan.
