Objective:
The aim: To improve the results of treatment of hyperactive bladder syndrome in men of working age on the background of barotrauma and stress, as a consequence of combat trauma.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: An analysis of the questionnaire and the results of the clinical examination of 32 patients, injured servicemen and people who were injured in combat zones was carried out. The drug solifenacin succinate was used in the treatment complex, which is a specific antagonist of M3 subtype cholinergic receptors. Its influence allows you to achieve relaxation of the bladder detrusor and reduce the contractility of hyperactive bladder.
Results:
Results: The main criterion for the effectiveness of the treatment was a decrease in the number of urgent cases, the frequency of urination and manifestations of nocturia by 50% or more, which was considered a positive effect. At the same time, the positive effect was differentiated as follows : an improvement of these parameters by 75% or more from the initial value which is a good result; reduction of symptoms in the range of 50-75% is satisfactory; less than 50% is an unsatisfactory result. A positive effect from the treatment after 8 weeks was observed in 88% of patients, of which 52% had a good result and 36% had a satisfactory result.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The proposed complex of treatment of hyperactive bladder syndrome as a result of combat trauma against the background of barotrauma with neurological consequences and chronic stress allows to achieve a pronounced clinical effect in the vast majority of male patients of working age. And the diagnostic complex allows you to emphasize aspects of clinical vigilance, both for doctors of a specialized branch and of doctors of a general direction.

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...
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...
