Research shows that UTIs that do not have symptoms usually do not need treatment with antibiotics. Dyssynergia occurs when the bladder contracts but the sphincter does not open. Treatment includes medications or surgery to open the sphincter. Kidney and bladder stones can form. Incontinence or urine leakage may be a problem for some individuals.
Treatment can include both drugs and surgery.
Medications are often used to control bladder spasms and tighten the sphincter muscles. Several surgical options are available for treating incontinence, including various forms of urinary diversion. A new surgical method is bladder augmentation cystoplasty. Here the bladder is enlarged using bowel tissue. Since surgery involves both the urinary and gastrointestinal systems, recovery time is longer.
