which web site or programme?

I always wondered why the urge to pee got worse as I drove closer to my house...

defenderoFreedom, si el daño en la médula espinal se produce por encima de la región toraco lumbar, no se envía información al cerebro para que inhiba la acción de los nervios pélvicos y tampoco se produce el refuerzo de contraccion del esfínter externo por el nervio pudendo luego se produce la patología de vejiga atómata en donde seproduce la micción sin deseo de orinar

One detail omitted: during urination, tiny sphincters in the URETERS leading from the kidneys (one from each, thus two total) tighten in order to prevent urine from backflowing into the kidneys whilst the bladder's detrusor muscle is contracted.

so what happens if the spinal chord is severed????

Then i assume you loose all control of your micturition reflex and will pee yourself all the time because your brain wont tell you to go to the toilet.

not necessarily



[acetim48629]

dont assume anything sometimes you may still have ability to use this function depends on level of lesion or if complete or incomplete
