URINARY BLADDER FACTS
The bladder is a round, bag-like organ that stores urine. It is located in the pelvic area, just below the kidneys and right behind the pelvic bone.
Your bladder serves a vital function by removing waste products from your body, and your spinal injury is likely to have had an effect on its ability to work well. There are a number of ways you can help ensure good bladder health.
The bladder is a storage organ that sits in your pelvis. Urine is made by your kidneys and stored in the bladder until you are ready to empty it. When you go to the toilet your bladder outlet muscles (urethral sphincter and pelvic floor) relax and your bladder contracts (squeezes) emptying your bladder of urine.
As a progressive medical practice dedicated to female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, we have a lot of experience with the female bladder. Many people don’t give this organ much thought until things go wrong, but the bladder is unique in many ways.
