[Interrelation of hyperactivity of bladder and infravesical obstruction in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia]
Abstract:
The analysis of the data presented in the review convincingly shows the correlation between infravesical obstruction (IVO), caused by pressing of urethra by enlarged prostate, and the development of detrusor hyperactivity. The clinical importance of correlation between IVO and hyperactivity of the detrusor is convincingly illustrated by different results of effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with benigh prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with and without hyperactivity of bladder. In patients with BPH and hyperactivity of bladder the probability of irritative symptoms is high. This data proves the necessity of the further study of the pathogenesis of development of bladder hyperactivity in patients with BPH, and the importance of a preoperative estimation of functional frustration of the bladder.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...
Urinary Bladder
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...
