Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

2.7K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
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...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

842
Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System II: Inspection and Palpation

606
The nursing assessment of the genitourinary (GU) system involves a systematic inspection and palpation to identify abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.InspectionMouth: Inspect for signs of kidney dysfunction, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and ammonia breath, which may occur in advanced kidney disease due to the buildup of urea, breaking down into ammonia.Skin: Check for pallor, which could indicate anemia caused by kidney disease. Look for...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System I: Health History

311
The genitourinary system is critical to maintaining fluid balance, waste elimination, and reproductive function. Nurses play a vital role in assessing this system, beginning with a thorough health history. This process involves gathering patient information, identifying risk factors, and recognizing symptoms of genitourinary disorders. Early detection is vital for timely interventions and management.1. Gathering Patient InformationA complete health history includes the patient’s personal,...

AssessmentSubjective Data: Obtain a detailed health history, including any recent or chronic urinary tract infections, periods of immobilization, previous episodes of renal calculi, and medical conditions such as gout, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or hyperparathyroidism. Review the medication history for drugs that may influence stone formation, including allopurinol, analgesics, loop diuretics, or thiazide diuretics. Document the use of long-term indwelling catheters and any past surgical...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

971
The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Bladder dysfunction significantly impacts multiple sclerosis (MS) patients' quality of life and social engagement.
  • Limited research exists on bladder dysfunction prevalence in Iranian MS patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence and characteristics of bladder dysfunction in Iranian patients with multiple sclerosis.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 228 Iranian MS patients at Sina Hospital.
  • Utilized the Persian version of the 8-item Actionable Bladder Symptom Screening Tool (ABSST) questionnaire.
  • Collected demographic data and information on accompanying symptoms like fatigue and depression.

Main Results:

  • 28.8% of patients reported actionable bladder symptoms (ABSST score ≥ 8).
  • Higher age, disease duration, and lower education levels were associated with actionable bladder symptoms.
  • Urinary retention, dribbling, and incontinence were more prevalent in patients with actionable symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Approximately one-third of Iranian MS patients suffer from overactive bladder symptoms.
  • Physicians should proactively screen for and manage bladder dysfunction in MS patients.
