Pathology - Overflow Urinary Incontinence
This ailment happens due to involuntary loss of urine from an overly full bladder, which has some form of outlet obstruction. Common causes of this form of incontinence include BPH, prostate cancer, urethral narrowing/strictures, or neuromuscular diseases that impede bladder motility (spinal cord lesions, multiple sclerosis). In overflow incontinence, the bladder is always continually full so that it regularly leaks urine. Difficulty beginning urination and weakening of urine stream are typically noted as the inflated urinary bladder becomes functionally atonic or at least significantly less able to contract than normal bladder musculature. The condition may be worsened by usage of anticholinergic medicines or even NSAIDs, which may impede bladder motility further.
Presence of a considerable volume of pee in the bladder after voiding (either by ultrasound assessment or urinary catheterization) is indicative of this disorder. Lower abdominal distention is detected as the patient’s enlarged bladder moves from the pelvis into the lower abdomen.
