Autonomic neuropathy and the genitourinary system.

W E Bradley

    The Journal of Urology
    |March 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Autonomic and pudendal neuropathies are common genitourinary diseases often starting asymptomatic. Diagnosis requires electrophysiologic methods, and treatment involves genitourinary function studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Urology
    • Diabetology

    Background:

    • Autonomic and pudendal neuropathies are prevalent yet underdiagnosed conditions impacting the genitourinary system.
    • These neuropathies can be asymptomatic in early stages, complicating detection.
    • Autonomic neuropathy is frequently linked to metabolic diseases like diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic approaches for autonomic and pudendal neuropathies.
    • To emphasize the importance of electrophysiologic methods in diagnosing these conditions.
    • To underscore the necessity of comprehensive genitourinary function assessment for effective treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrophysiologic testing for direct diagnosis of autonomic neuropathy.
    • Laboratory studies to assess genitourinary function.
    • Review of existing literature on genitourinary neuropathies.

    Main Results:

    • Autonomic and pudendal neuropathies are significant causes of genitourinary dysfunction.
    • Early stages are often asymptomatic, necessitating specific diagnostic tools.
    • Electrophysiologic methods are crucial for definitive diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of genitourinary neuropathies relies on accurate diagnosis via electrophysiology.
    • Tailored treatment plans require thorough evaluation of genitourinary function.
    • Increased awareness and diagnostic focus are needed for these neglected diseases.
