  • Title: Dysfunctions of micturition in the male.
    Author: Smucker DR, Zilkoski MW, Jhunjhunwala J.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1989 Dec; 16(4):941-66. PubMed ID: 2692047.
    Abstract:
    A basic knowledge of the anatomy and neurophysiology of the lower urinary tract is necessary to understand voiding dysfunction in the male. Enuresis is the most common voiding problem in children. Evaluation and treatment of incontinence and neurogenic voiding dysfunction in the adult male is easily understood by using a failure to store/failure to empty classification system. Treatment focuses on behavioral, pharmacologic, and surgical means of influencing the storage and emptying functions of the bladder and sphincter. The goals of any treatment plan for dysfunctions of micturition in the male are to preserve renal function, maintain continence, and promote normal voiding patterns.
