Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder01:28

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

260
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent obsessions, compulsions, or both, which consume significant time and interfere with daily functioning. Obsessions involve persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that evoke anxiety. Common examples include irrational fears of contamination or harm. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, individuals...

Disorders of the Urinary System01:20

Disorders of the Urinary System

713
The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids from the body. However, disorders of the urinary system can arise due to various reasons like infections, stress, age, congenital abnormalities, and lifestyle.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...

Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive

174
Dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are two separate psychological conditions that influence behavior, relationships, and overall life functioning. Though both involve maladaptive behaviors, their core characteristics and motivations differ significantly.
 Dependent Personality Disorder
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive reliance on others to manage various aspects of life. Individuals with this disorder often struggle...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System I: Health History

162
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,...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

179
Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Summary

Patients with obsessive-compulsive (OC) disorder show more functional urinary symptoms like overactive bladder and incontinence. This association is stronger in pediatric neuropsychiatric disorders (PANDAS/PANS).

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Psychological factors influence bladder and bowel control.
  • Functional urinary disorders in psychiatric patients are understudied.
  • Obsessive-compulsive (OC) disorders are linked to higher rates of lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the literature on functional urinary disorders in patients with psychiatric conditions.
  • To investigate the prevalence and nature of urinary symptoms in individuals with OC disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across multiple databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, etc.).
  • Included five observational studies.
  • Meta-analysis was not feasible due to limited control groups.

Main Results:

  • Patients with OC symptoms exhibited increased functional urinary symptoms, including overactive bladder, urgency, frequency, incontinence, and enuresis.
  • These urinary issues were more prevalent in Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) or Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) compared to OCD alone.
  • Evidence base was limited with moderate to serious risk of bias.

Conclusions:

  • Observed associations between OC symptoms and functional urinary disorders require further investigation.
  • Biological and behavioral mechanisms warrant exploration.
  • Well-designed cohort studies are needed to confirm findings and guide management.
