How is neurogenic bladder diagnosed?
When neurogenic bladder is suspected, both the nervous system (including the brain) and the bladder itself are examined.
Neurogenic bladder is abnormal bladder function caused by a nerve problem. The bladder may empty too often or at the wrong time ( incontinence) or the bladder may be unable to completely empty the urine (urinary retention).
