Theoretically, the change in any neurotransmitter component could play a decisive role in the micturition problems of older people.
The frontal cortex is an inhibitory centre which co-ordinates micturition and consciousness so that bladder contractions may be inhibited until it is convenient to void.
This exceeds the bladder capacity of the elderly person and leads to greater night-time than daytime micturition frequency.
On the other hand, a smaller proportion of infected persons complained of painful micturition.
In old age, the benign enlargement of the prostate gland can present with the same signs and symptoms as early malignancy; these include increased frequency and difficulty in micturition.
First, there are the immediate and short-term physical complications, including haemorrhage, pain, shock, localised infection, septicaemia, difficulties with micturition and damage to adjacent tissue and organs.
This results in loss of detrusor contraction, difficulty in initiating micturition and overflow incontinence.
In the most severe cases, bladder hyperreflexia is associated with a lack of concern for micturition due to the severe frontal lobe cognitive impairment.
