Do paraplegics have problems with urinary function?

Paraplegia usually causes urinary dysfunction.
When paraplegia occurs, below the level of paraplegia, there are sensory and motor impairments, and urinary and fecal abnormalities, such as urinary incontinence and retention, may also occur. However, in a small number of patients, the degree of injury is less severe and the dysfunction is less pronounced.
Urinary incontinence is the inability to hold urine voluntarily, which may result in bedwetting and pants-wetting. Urinary retention means that urine is stored in the bladder and cannot be discharged from the body, requiring long-term insertion of a catheter.
Post-care of paraplegic patients is very important, you can do some rehabilitation training or massage, to keep the patient’s body with good blood circulation, but also to prevent the formation of thrombus in the lower limbs.
If the patient has a similar situation, should go to the regular hospital in time to consult the relevant doctors, under the guidance of the doctor for training, do not exercise on your own, may lead to aggravation of the condition.
