Abstract:
General practitioners and family physicians frequently encounter patients suffering from voiding disorders. Various underlying
causes such as spinal cord injury, cerebrovascular accidents, traumatic brain injury and several neurological diseases including
Parkinson’s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis and vitamin deficiencies have been implicated. Chronic bladder conditions
may cause social embarrassment and decrease quality of life in affected individuals. It is important to identify the most common
underlying causes of bladder dysfunction and have adequate knowledge regarding the primary treatment and prevention of
complications in order to reduce the economic burden created by this group of disorders.
