Urinary urgency and frequency of nerve origin — Patient questions

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Patient questions

The questions patients ask us most often about urinary urgency nerve — answered directly, without hedging.

Urgency, frequency and a sense of incomplete emptying can all be produced by pudendal nerve irritation, in the presence of a completely normal bladder work-up.

Patients often carry a diagnosis of overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis for years. When medication for those conditions has never helped, the assumption behind it deserves review.

As a urologist, Dr Bollens evaluates bladder symptoms and nerve symptoms in the same consultation instead of separating them between specialties.
