Micturition syncope

C J Godec, A S Cass

    The Journal of Urology
    |October 1, 1981

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Micturition syncope, a neurophysiological event, is triggered by increased vagal stimulation and bladder input. Postural hypotension upon standing to void may explain why men are more commonly affected by this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurophysiology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Micturition syncope is a poorly understood neurophysiological event.
    • Common triggers include increased nocturnal vagal stimulation, bladder sensory input during urination, and the upright posture during voiding.

    Observation:

    • The condition predominantly affects males, potentially due to postural hypotension experienced when standing to urinate.
    • The report details two cases: a typical male presentation and an atypical case in a female.

    Findings:

    • Vagal stimulation and postural changes during micturition are key factors in syncope.
    • Postural hypotension is a significant contributing factor, explaining gender disparity.

    Implications:

    • Understanding these triggers can aid in diagnosing and managing micturition syncope.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the neurophysiological mechanisms involved.
