View ProfileNeurogenic bladder is a condition where nerve damage disrupts the communication between the bladder, spinal cord, and brain. This disrupts the bladder's ability to store and release urine properly. Here at Meerut Urologist, led by our experienced urologist Dr. Shaleen Sharma and Dr. Sarat Chandra Garg, we understand the challenges associated with neurogenic bladder and offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Neurogenic bladder occurs when nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain, spinal cord, and bladder muscles. This can lead to difficulty controlling urination, causing frequent urination, leakage, or inability to empty the bladder completely.
