Popis: Neurogenic bladder and sexual dysfunction after spinal cord lesions are highly prevalent. The treatment algorithm for neurogenic bladder is well described. Clean intermittent self-catheterisation associated with treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity is the gold standard. Goals of treatment are twofold: i) control risk factors to avoid upper urinary tract complications, and ii) improve quality of life by treating incontinence when feasible. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is still a major cause of complications and hospitalisation. Sexual dysfunction must be addressed and treated and is at the top of patient expectations one year after injury.
