posterior urethral valves obstruction can cause palpable bladder and urine incontinence

plz tell me the mechanish of incontinence in this condition??

  #2

Severe or prolonged urethral obstruction can lead to a fibrotic, poorly compliant bladder. This occurs when the developing bladder is exposed to high pressures from bladder outlet obstruction, leading to increases in bladder collagen deposition and detrusor muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia. These bladders manifest poor compliance, leading to elevated storage pressures. This, in turn, leads to increased risk of reflux, hydroureteronephrosis, and urinary incontinence.

Any obstruction wheather mechanical or Functional (neurogenic) ---------> Over flow incontinence
