Hypotonic bladder

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

Detrusor areflexia or a hypotonic bladder may result from:

  • lower motor neurone disease
  • spinal cord injury
  • autonomic neuropathy - e.g. diabetes mellitus

Normal voiding is impaired, the bladder becomes enlarged, and eventually, overflow incontinence results.

Intermittent self-catheterisation is the mainstay of treatment.
