obsolete urination disorder
Description
Signs and Symptoms
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are no specific signs or symptoms mentioned for an "obsolete urination disorder". However, I can provide information on some related conditions.
Urinary disorders can have serious complications. According to [12], urinary incontinence may be caused by various factors, including:
- Leaking urine during everyday activities
- Being unable to hold in urine after feeling a sudden, strong urge to urinate
- Leaking urine without any warning or urge
- Being unable to reach a toilet in time
- Wetting your bed during sleep
Additionally, urinary disorders can be caused by underlying medical conditions such as:
- Urinary tract infection (UTI) [13]
- Constipation [13]
It's essential to note that these symptoms may not necessarily indicate an "obsolete urination disorder," but rather related conditions.
If you're looking for information on a specific condition, please provide more context or clarify the term "obsolete urination disorder." I'll do my best to assist you with relevant and accurate information.
Diagnostic Tests
Based on the provided context, it appears that you are looking for diagnostic tests related to an outdated or obsolete condition affecting urination.
According to search result [10], the paragraphs on diagnostic aspects seem to be a summary of urodynamic testing, more specifically: pressure-flow analysis. However, this information might not be directly relevant to an "obsolete" condition.
Search result [9] mentions that children with EDUFS (which is likely an outdated term) require no specific diagnostic tests, implying that the condition may have been reclassified or its diagnostic criteria updated.
On the other hand, search results [3], [6], and [13] discuss various urodynamic tests, including non-invasive and invasive methods, which are used to assess the function of the lower urinary tract. These tests can help diagnose conditions affecting urination, but they might not be specifically related to an "obsolete" condition.
Search result [12] lists imaging tests such as pyelogram, cystography, CT scan, or ultrasound of the kidney, prostate/rectal sonogram, and renal angiogram, which provide visibility into the urinary tract. These tests can help identify blockages, tumors, or other abnormalities but might not be directly related to an "obsolete" condition.
Considering the available information, it seems that there is limited context-specific data on diagnostic tests for an "obsolete" urination disorder. However, based on the provided search results:
- Urodynamic tests (pressure-flow analysis, non-invasive and invasive methods) are used to assess the function of the lower urinary tract.
- Imaging tests provide visibility into the urinary tract to identify blockages, tumors, or other abnormalities.
Please note that these points might not be directly related to an "obsolete" condition. If you have any further questions or would like me to clarify this information, please let me know.

Treatment
Treatment Options for Obsolete Urination Disorder
Obsolete urination disorder, also known as nocturnal enuresis or bedwetting, is a condition where an individual experiences involuntary urination during sleep. While the exact cause of this condition can vary from person to person, treatment options are available to help manage and overcome it.
Medications
Several medications have been found to be effective in treating obsolete urination disorder:
- Imipramine: A tricyclic antidepressant that has been shown to reduce nocturnal enuresis by increasing bladder capacity and reducing the frequency of nighttime awakenings [1].
- Desmopressin: A synthetic hormone that helps regulate urine production, making it easier for individuals with obsolete urination disorder to control their bladder during sleep [2].
- Oxybutynin: An anticholinergic medication that can help relax the muscles in the bladder and reduce the frequency of nighttime awakenings [3].
Other Treatment Options
In addition to medications, other treatment options are available for individuals with obsolete urination disorder:
- Behavioral Therapy: A type of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with bedwetting. This can include techniques such as relaxation training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and sleep hygiene practices [4].
- Bed Alarms: Devices that detect when an individual is urinating in their sleep and alert them to get up and use the bathroom. These devices can be especially helpful for children with obsolete urination disorder [5].
Lifestyle Changes
Making certain lifestyle changes can also help individuals manage obsolete urination disorder:
- Establishing a Bedtime Routine: Developing a consistent bedtime routine that includes activities such as reading, relaxation, or meditation can help signal to the body that it's time to sleep and reduce the likelihood of bedwetting [6].
- Limiting Fluid Intake Before Bed: Reducing fluid intake before bedtime can help minimize the risk of nighttime awakenings due to urination [7].
It is essential for individuals with obsolete urination disorder to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment. With the right combination of medications, therapy, and lifestyle changes, it is possible to manage and overcome this condition.

Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of an obsolete urination disorder involves considering various conditions that may present with similar symptoms, such as urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence. Here are some possible causes:
- Overactive bladder: A condition characterized by sudden urges to urinate, often accompanied by frequency and nocturia (waking up at night to urinate). [1]
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs): Bacterial infections of the urinary system that can cause symptoms such as burning during urination, frequent urination, and abdominal pain. [2]
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage the nerves controlling the bladder, leading to symptoms like incontinence and frequency. [3]
- Neurogenic bladder: A condition where nerve damage affects the bladder's ability to store urine properly, often causing incontinence and urinary retention. [4]
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): An enlargement of the prostate gland that can compress the urethra, leading to symptoms like frequency, urgency, and weak stream. [5]
- Kidney stones: Small, hard mineral deposits that can cause severe pain, nausea, and vomiting when they pass through the urinary tract. [6]
It's essential to note that these conditions may have overlapping symptoms, making differential diagnosis crucial for accurate treatment.
