N31: Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, not elsewhere classified

The conditions under the category "Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, not elsewhere classified" are a group of disorders that impact the muscles and nerves of the bladder. These conditions can disrupt the ability of the bladder to store and release urine properly. They are often caused by damage or abnormalities in the nerves that control the bladder muscles and can stem from various illnesses, injuries, or birth defects. Symptoms can range from mild, such as frequent or urgent urination, to severe, including inability to control urination, often termed incontinence. Over time, these symptoms can lead to an increase in urinary tract infections and kidney damage. It's important to remember that neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder is not a disease in itself but a symptom of underlying nerve or muscle problems.
