Neurogenic detrusor activity, also known as detrusor hyperreflexia is when the detrusor muscle of the bladder contracts more frequently and involuntarily. Neurogenic detrusor activity in men causes urinary incontinence which is the uncontrollable release of urine out of the bladder. Physiotherapy with Physio.co.uk can help to significantly to reduce symptoms that are result from neurogenic detrusor overactivity in men.


What is neurogenic detrusor overactivity?



Neurogenic detrusor activity in men or detrusor hyperreflexia is a neurological abnormality that impairs the signalling systems between the central nervous system and the bladder. This abnormality results in the brain being unable to inhibit the detrusor muscles that control the bladder and urination. The detrusor muscles therefore contracts more frequently causing the involuntary release of urine from the bladder (urinary incontinence). The impairment of the signalling systems between the bladder and the brain is caused by a disruption of the nerves supplying the detrusor muscle.
