  1. The constipation group showed a significant decrease in bladder capacity, voided volume, and a significant increase in the number of non-void contractions compared to the control group (N = 4 per each group). Mean ± SE, *p < 0.05 and †p < 0.005 vs. the control group, Pves max, maximum intravesical pressure at micturition.
