Abstract

Abnormalities of the voiding cycle are responsible for a large number of patient visits to the urologist. The symptoms and problems may be simple and annoying at one extreme and life-threatening at the other, resulting in permanent organ damage. These dysfunctions may be due to various reasons ranging from neurologic diseases to structural changes in the lower urinary tract brought about by aging, previous surgery, trauma, or systemic illness. The neurogenic causes of voiding dysfunction are discussed in Chapter 4. This chapter deals primarily with the nonneurogenic aspects of voiding dysfunction.
