How is it diagnosed?
To diagnose neurogenic bladder, a doctor may test both the nervous system (including the brain) and the bladder itself. The doctor may take x-rays of the skull and spine and do an EEG, a test where wires are taped to the forehead to sense any dysfunction in the brain.
The doctor will also test the nerves and muscles of the bladder, including x-rays of the bladder and ureters. Other tests may involve filling the bladder to see how much it can hold and checking to see if the bladder empties completely.
