An objective assessment of the unstable bladder of psychosomatic origin.

An objective assessment of 40 female patients with an unstable bladder was made. An organic or structural cause had previously been eliminated. In all patients an emotive or psychogenic origin for their urinary symptoms was discovered. The diagnosis of detrusor instability was confirmed by cystometry and bladder drill retraining was employed for 3 months. Cystometric investigation was then repeated and the patient was reassessed from the symptomatic point of view. The cure rate was 82.5%.
