Abstract

Diabetic neuropathy can induce multi-organ functional disease including lower urinary tract dysfunction. After a review of the various neurological lesions associated with diabetes mellitus, the authors describe the voiding disorders observed in diabetics and their specificity. These disorders, usually characterized by a large, flaccid, underactive bladder, must always be interpreted as a function of other diseases of the male or female pelvis that alter an often precarious balance. The management problems raised by this neuropathy are related to the fact that it may not be correctly diagnosed prior to a surgical procedure, for example. A better knowledge of the risk factors and natural history of diabetic bladder must therefore be promoted.
