More than 4.3 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with diabetes and there are thought to be a further 850 000 people living with diabetes who have not yet been diagnosed (Diabetes UK, 2024). Around half of all adults who have diabetes experience bladder dysfunction. It is one of the most common complications of diabetes, yet there is little in the medical literature and it is often unrecognised and poorly treated (Wittig et al, 2019). This article uses a case history approach to examine how diabetes can affect the bladder.
英国有超过 430 万人被诊断患有糖尿病，据估计还有另外 85 万人患有尚未被诊断出的糖尿病（英国糖尿病协会，2024 年）。大约一半患有糖尿病的成年人都经历过膀胱功能障碍。它是糖尿病最常见的并发症之一，但在医学文献中却很少提及，而且常常被忽视和治疗不当（Wittig 等人，2019 年）。本文采用病例史的方法来研究糖尿病如何影响膀胱。
