Discussion of treatments for Neurogenic bladder:

The treatment for neurogenic bladder depends on the cause of the nerve damage and the type of voiding dysfunction that results. If the problem is urinary retention (the bladder does not know when to let go), it may be necessary to use a catheter to empty the bladder at regular times. A catheter is a thin tube that can be slid through the urethra, up to the bladder. Learning to use a catheter correctly helps to avoid infection and stops the buildup of pressure that can damage the kidneys.

In the case of urine leakage (incontinence), the doctor will choose from a range of treatments depending on the cause of leakage. If the problem is that the muscle in the bladder itself squeezes out urine at the wrong time, some drugs may help the bladder stay relaxed and store urine longer. A different muscle, the sphincter muscle, is supposed to hold urine in by squeezing the urethra shut at the opening of the bladder. If urine leakage happens because the sphincter is not working, an artificial sphincter may be necessary. (Source: excerpt from Neurogenic Bladder: NIDDK)
