connected by a tube. The tube may be either rigid or flexible, depending on whether it will be used for diagnosis or for treatment. The cystoscope transmits clear and detailed images of the inner mucous membrane that lines the urinary bladder and the urethra. A cystoscopy is performed to find the cause of conditions such as: •

The intrauterine device (copper-T) is most common method used for contraception as it is an economical and effective method. It is associated with complications like bleeding, perforation and migration to neighboring organs or omentum. Perforation of the urinary bladder by an IUD is extremely rare. A retrospective study was carried out in a medical college to find out the incidence of displacement of copper-T over a period of one year (Jan 2013 to Dec 2013). Total 240 copper-T were inserted as IUD

to the urinary tract (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2016). One way of contracting a urinary tract infection is via catheterization. Indwelling catheterization is a procedure in which a tube inserted into the urinary bladder via the urethra and is left in place as a closed system for urinary drainage. This tube can also be a way for infection

nervous system mechanism that coordinates urine storage and release by the regulation of smooth muscle in the bladder and urethra. Bladder storage, emptying and coordinated urinary sphincter activity , are controlled by the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic nervous systems. Parasympathetic nerves in the spinal cord (S2-S4) act to contract the bladder and relax the urethra through the release of acetylcholine, which excites smooth muscle muscarinic receptors (17). This causes urination through

FLUTD Feline lower urinary tract disease is a general term used when there is a condition affecting a cat’s bladder or urethra. These problems can consist of: urinary stones or crystals that form in the urine and irritate the lining of the bladder, urethral plugs that form in the male cats’ urethra, causing a physical obstruction, spasm of the muscle in the wall of the urethra, stress and behavioral problems, and bacterial infections in the bladder (Understanding). Clinical signs of feline lower

and come out in liquid form through the bladder and urethra. Any substance unrecognized by this system such as bacteria can cause an infection in this tract system in the body known as urinary tract infection (UTI). The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, the ureters, bladder and urethra. The kidneys take nutrients from liquids that are nurturing to the body. Bladder is like an overflow that holds urine waiting to be released. The urethra is the tubes that extend from the bladder through

If your dog is unable to control their ability to hold their urine until they're outside, they're probably suffering from urinary incontinence. A small amount of urine will start to drip from the vulva or urethra during pets nap or while they sleep. In a female dog, estrogen has an impacting result, giving strength to the muscular tissue of the bladder. Within the male dog, testosterone as estrogen has an impact result as well. Everything that decreases or increases the levels of those hormones also

A Urinary tract infection (UTI) including the bladder and kidneys, is an infection that encompasses the entire urinary system. The kidneys and bladder filter the blood to make Urine. A urinary catheter is a thin tube placed in the bladder to drain urine. Urine drains through the tube into a bag where the urine collects. When the whole system is compromised, a patient can become very ill. A catheter provides a link between the outside environment and a usually sterile system. Now that the catheter

Understanding Types of Urinary Incontinence, Assessments and Appropriate Intervention Urinary incontinence (UI) can be defined as, “involuntary leakage of urine to a degree that it is troubling to a person” (Mauk, p. 545). Not only it is a common problem for the elderly, which has a tremendous impact on their quality of life, it is also a common health problems that affects more than 17 millions of Americans (Testa, p. 82). Even though urinary incontinence is a common problem for the senior it is

incontinence, this helps relax the bladder neck muscles and the fiber muscles in the prostate making it easier to empty the bladder. Topical estrogen comes in the form of a cream, a ring or a patch that may help tone and rejuvenate the tissue of urethra and vaginal areas. Factors that increase the risk of incontinence are gender; women are more likely to have incontinence due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and normal anatomy of the female body. Men with prostate problems can have incontinence
