- Bowel and Bladder Care After Spinal Cord Injury
Managing neurogenic bowel and bladder requires a precise, customized regimen tailored to the level and completeness of the spinal cord injury. For the urinary system, interventions prevent dangerous pressure build-up and kidney damage through clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), pharmacological management, and urodynamic assessments. For the digestive system, structured bowel routines utilize dietary modifications, timed evacuation schedules, and specialized stimulation techniques to prevent incontinence, constipation, and autonomic dysreflexia.
