Ureterovesical valve-A sphincter (an opening controlled by a circular muscle), located where the ureter enters the bladder, that keeps urine from flowing backward toward the kidney.

Urologists have various approaches to urine drainage that range from simply reimplanting a ureter into the bladder, in such a way that an effective valve is created, to building a new bladder out of a piece of bowel.

It is most often due to bacterial infection, but can also be caused by a chemical irritant (such as spillage of acid from the stomach or bile from the gall bladder).

Although most children between the ages of three and five begin to stay dry at night, the age at which children are physically and emotionally ready to maintain complete bladder control varies.

Children who wet the bed frequently may have a smaller than normal functional bladder capacity.

Functional bladder capacity is the amount of urine a person can hold in the bladder before feeling a strong urge to urinate.

When functional capacity is small, the bladder will not hold all the urine produced during the night.

Tests have shown that bladder size in these children is normal.

Although a small functional bladder capacity may be caused by a developmental delay, it may also be that the child's habit of voiding frequently slows bladder development.

This decreased volume of water usually prevents the child's bladder from overfilling during the night, unless the child drinks a lot just before going to bed.

If they do not wake up, the bladder releases the excess urine and the child wets the bed.

Bladder training exercises are based on the theory that those who wet the bed have small functional bladder capacity.

These exercises are designed to increase bladder capacity but are only successful in resolving bed-wetting in a small number of patients.

The intention is to condition a response to awaken when the bladder is full.

Among the drugs commonly used are a nasal spray of desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), a substance similar to the hormone that helps regulate urine production; and imipramine hydrochloride, a drug that helps to increase bladder capacity.

About 10 percent of fetuses with urinary tract obstructions may require prenatal surgery in which a device is placed in the fetus's bladder to drain the urine into the amniotic sac.

A tiny hole was made in the bladder of the fetus and a catheter (a long, thin tube) was inserted to drain the urine directly into the amniotic fluid.

For urinary tract obstructions a needle may be used to insert a catheter through the mother's abdomen and uterus and into the fetal bladder where it drains the urine into the amniotic fluid.

The catheter may have an expandable wire mesh that expands in the bladder to prevent the catheter from plugging up or dislodging.

People with spina bifida can suffer from bladder and bowel incontinence, cognitive (learning) problems, and limited mobility.

Some women get more urinary tract infections if they use a diaphragm because the diaphragm can press against the urethra, the tube that connects the bladder to the outside.

Normally, kidneys rid the body of wastes by filtering the wastes into the bladder where they exit the body through the urine.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition in which urine flows from the bladder, back up the ureter, and back into the kidneys.

Each ureter leads into the bladder, where the urine collects until it is passed out of the body.

In vesicoureteral reflux, however, urine that has already collected in the bladder is able to flow backwards from the bladder, up the ureter, and back into the collecting system of the kidney.

Most cases of VUR are due to a defect in the way the ureter is implanted into the bladder.

The angle may be wrong or the valve (which should allow urine only one-way entrance into the bladder) may be weak.

These include a situation in which two ureters leave a kidney, instead of the usual one (duplicated ureters) and in which the ureter is greatly enlarged at the end leading into the bladder (ureterocele).

In these cases, the bladder may become irritable and spastic, because it is never totally empty of urine.

This test involves inserting a small tube (catheter) into the bladder.

The bladder is then filled with a dye solution, which lights up on the x-ray picture.

Once VUR has been diagnosed, its progress may be followed with a nuclear scintigram, in which a radioactive substance is put into the bladder via catheter, and a gamma camera takes images that reveal the presence and degree of VUR.

Surgery for VUR consists of reimplanting the ureters into the bladder at a more normal angle.

This adjustment usually improves the functioning of the valve leading into the bladder.

As they grow, the ureter lengthens, changing its angle of entry into the bladder and resolving the reflux.

Problems with bladder emptying can make toilet teaching a slower process in children with VUR.

Ureter-The tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder; each kidney has one ureter.

When children are ill, the rate of bladder and bowel elimination may slow down because of reduced physical action.

Catheters and ports also may be placed in the chest cavity, abdomen, bladder, or pelvis (intracavitary or IC catheter), depending on the location of the cancer to be treated.

Toilet training is the process of teaching a young child to control the bowel and bladder and use the bathroom for elimination.

In some cases children learn bladder control first; others learn bowel control before bladder control.

Some children achieve some control over bladder and/or bowel movements as early as nine months of age and are able to cooperate in controlling themselves to some degree by the age of 12 to 15 months.

The signal from the child's bladder has to be strong enough to wake him from sleep and get him to the bathroom at least once or twice a night.

In a minority of children, nighttime bladder control does not develop until after the age of five; this situation often occurs in families where there is a history of enuresis (bedwetting).

The two most common congenital bladder abnormalities are exstrophy and congenital diverticula.

An exstrophic bladder is one that is open to the outside and turned inside out, so that its inside is visible at birth, protruding from the lower abdomen.

Exstrophy of the bladder represents a failure of this folding process to complete itself, so the organs form with more or less of their front side missing and remain open to the outside.

A congenital bladder diverticulum represents an area of weakness in the bladder wall through which extrudes some of the lining of the bladder.

Bladder diverticula may be multiple, and they often occur at the ureterovesical junction (the entrance of the upper urinary system into the bladder).

If left untreated, the person with bladder exstrophy will have no control over urination and is more likely than others to develop bladder cancer.

The obvious bladder exstrophy seen at birth will prompt immediate action and a search for other anomalies.

Delay in the surgery leads to the frequent need to divert the urine into the bowel because the partially repaired bladder cannot control the flow.

The rate of infection is greater for those with congenital bladder anomalies, since any abnormality in the urinary system predisposes it to invasion by bacteria.

Parents of children with bladder diverticula should be aware of prevention and treatment practices for urinary tract infections.

Diverticula are present most often in the colon (large intestine), but are also found in the bladder.

Exstrophy-A congenital condition in which a hollow organ, such as the bladder, is turned inside out, establishing contact between the organ and the outside of the body.

Ureterovesical junction-The point where the ureter joins the bladder.

Children with this disorder develop normally until at least two years of age, after which an obvious regression in multiple functional skills occurs, including bladder and bowel control, ability to move, and language skills.

Vesicoureteral reflux is a condition in which the child cannot completely empty the bladder.

The condition allows urine to remain in or flow backward (reflux) into the partially empty bladder.

The frequency of bladder infections in humans varies significantly according to age and sex.

Most bladder infections in women are so-called ascending infections, which means they are caused by disease agents traveling upward through the urethra to the bladder.

The relative shortness of the female urethra (1.2 to 2 inches [3-5 cm] in length for adults) facilitates bacteria gaining entry to the bladder and multiplying there.
