Hi there,
How are you feeling today? Hope every thing is fine. Neurogenic bladder is a condition in which there is the normal emptying of the bladder is affected and it can cause several renal complications. That’s why regular clean intermittent catheterization is so important.
Depending on the pathology of the disease you suffer from which has led to neurogenic bladder, the chances of return of the normal bladder function are governed. So please do get back to me with details of the diagnosis and then probably I will be able to give you a clearer picture of the prognosis.
If you have any further queries do get in touch with me.
Regards,
Dr Sylvester
