Voiding dysfunction is a general term to describe the condition in which there is a lack of coordination between the bladder muscle (detrusor) and the urethra.
During normal urination, the urethra relaxes and opens when the bladder muscle contracts, allowing urine to pass out of the body freely. In those with voiding dysfunction, the urethra does not relax when the bladder muscle contracts, making it difficult for urine to pass.
