resistance. Causes include childbirth and surgery,
postmenopausal atrophy of the mucosa, and urethral
infection. May follow prostate surgery in men.
detrusor contractions are stronger than normal and
overcome the normal urethral resistance. The bladder
is typically small. Mechanisms: Decreased cortical
inhibition of detrusor contractions from stroke, brain
urge incontinence tumor, dementia, and lesions of the spinal cord above
sacral level. Also hyperexcitability of sensory
pathways ie: bladder infections, tumors, and fecal
impaction. Deconditioning of voiding reflexes ie:
frequent voluntary voiding at low bladder volumes.
, detrusor contractions are insufficient to overcome
urethral resistance, causing urinary retention. The
bladder is typically flaccid and large, even after an
effort to void. Mechanisms: obstruction of the bladder

outlet ie: BPH or tumor. Weakness of the detrusor
muscle associated with peripheral nerve disease at
S2-4 level. Impaired bladder sensation that interrupts
the reflex arc ie: diabetic neuropathy.

conditions. Mechanism: problems in mobility resulting
functional incontinence from weakness, arthritis, poor vision, or other
conditions. Also environmental factors such as an

or physical restraints.
