Non-neurogenic discoordinated voiding in children. The long-term effect of bladder retraining.

Sixteen children with dysfunctional voiding without demonstrable neurological deviation were studied 6 months and five years after completed bladder retraining. The initial good effect on voiding symptoms and urinary tract infections/bacteriuria was confirmed. Moreover, the effect seems to last for several years. Bladder retraining can thus be considered a safe, cheap and relatively effective treatment in many children with symptoms of bladder dysfunction and/or recurrent urinary tract infections.
