Summary:Diabetic bladder dysfunction affects almost half of all diabetic patients, making it one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus. The clinical presentation of diabetic bladder dysfunction can be varied and may be extremely bothersome to patients, negatively impacting their quality of life. Despite this, it remains understudied and under-represented in the medical literature. This review summarizes the current literature on pathophysiology, clinical presentation, urodynamic findings, evaluation, and management. Through this, we hope to provide guidance to clinicians involved with the management of this condition.
