In addition to the problems mentioned above, other symptoms of neurogenic bladder are:
- A dribbling urinary stream
- Urinary urgency
- Inability to urinate or straining during urination
- Painful urination (dysuria)
- Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by urine being held too long in the bladder; UTI with fever is a sign of potential severe kidney infection (pyelonephritis) that can cause permanent kidney damage
- Urinary tract stones caused by the stoppage of urine flow and/or infection
- Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) or backup of urine from the bladder to the kidney(s) (a way of releasing pressure in the bladder when it doesn’t empty itself); this can be dangerous if a person as a UTI because the infected urine is sent back to kidneys, which can cause kidney infection
