Neuropathy Affects the Urinary System

Neuropathy, however, can also cause decreased sensation in the bladder and the urinary system. This can adversely affect the overall functioning of your urinary system including decreased sensitivity, which can make it difficult to sense whether or not you have to go to the bathroom. This effect may cause increased bladder volumes or less frequent trips to the bathroom because of the absence of feeling of needing to "go." Another consequence of neuropathy within the urinary system is the challenge of bladder contractility. This means that it is often difficult to completely empty one's bladder, potentially leading to incontinence and subsequent urinary tract infections.

Because of these issues, diabetics may find themselves needing catheters for effective bladder control function and voiding. At Total Diabetes Supply, we understand the needs of diabetics including those who need to employ catheter use in urination.
