Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Neurology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Lumbar disc prolapse is a common condition affecting the spine.
  • A significant number of women with this condition experience lower urinary tract symptoms, specifically voiding dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the neuropathophysiologic findings associated with lumbar disc prolapse and voiding dysfunction.
  • To outline the clinical features, evaluation methods, and treatment options for affected women.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on lumbar disc prolapse and its impact on bladder function.
  • Analysis of common findings, including detrusor areflexia and impaired sensation.

Main Results:

  • Detrusor areflexia is the most frequent finding in women with lumbar disc prolapse and voiding dysfunction.
  • Impaired sensation is often associated with detrusor areflexia in these patients.

Conclusions:

  • Voiding dysfunction is a prevalent complication of lumbar disc prolapse in women.
  • Understanding the neuropathophysiology is crucial for effective diagnosis and management.
