- This is caused by the muscle of the bladder wall - known as the detrusor muscle - being overactive.
- The detrusor, levator ani, and external sphincter muscles share the sacral nerves as a common innervation source.
- The most common abnormality was an incompletely emptying bladder, either because of obstructed outflow, an underactive detrusor, or urethral stricture.
- During normal voiding the detrusor muscle contracts and the muscles of the urethral sphincter and pelvic floor relax in a co-ordinated fashion to allow the bladder to empty.
- Pressure receptors in the bladder respond to the increased urine and contract the detrusor muscle, causing the internal sphincter to relax.
