This is made possible by an intricate balance of neural control, numerous neurotransmitters, subtle anatomic relations, and a variety of pharmacological and mechanical properties. This complex system can be simplified into the two phases of the micturition cycle: bladder filling with urine storage and bladder emptying or voiding.1 The focus of this chapter will be on problems that women face in regard to their ability to successfully empty their bladder, termed voiding phase dysfunction.
