10 Cervical Spondylosis Symptoms
Symptom #7: Loss of Bladder Control
It is evolutionary important that we maintain control over our bladder. Historically, it was important that we were able to hold urine in until we were ready to release it, otherwise we could have been leaving a trail for potential predators to follow. In today’s world, it is important as a matter of hygiene and cleanliness.
If nerves are being affected in the spinal cord, however, then it means that we may lose some or all control over our bladder. This can lead to some embarrassing situations that the patient has little to no control over. It can also cause the patient to lose control over their bowels. In the case of cervical spondylosis, loss of bowel and bladder function is considered medically urgent or a medical emergency.
