BOWELS AND BLADDER

Quadriplegics have “neurogenic” bladders which are considered “spastic". They empty when or if they feel like it. So how do we prevent accidents? How do we prevent retaining too much urine inside?

Because of bowel issues, lack of exercise, and our body's need for fiber and protein, we should be mindful of healthy eating. Spinal cord injury survivors are more likely than the general population to have health problems related to weight gain. Being overweight can make the transfer process more difficult, too.
