Electric-Sensibility of the Bladder

It is difficult to determine whether a prolonged cystometrogram with delayed first sensation and augmented capacity is due to a primary sensory lesion or to myogenic decompensation. Research in the field of diabetic bladder diseases has demonstrated the difficulty in distinguishing between an organic lesion and an illfunctioning bladder. Hitherto the sensory loss of the bladder has been established on the basis of the patient’s feeling of first sensation and his ability to distinguish between hot and cold fluids. The capacity of the bladder is also an important parameter. But there has been no objective quantitative parameter.
