11 ways STOP Overactive Bladder | Overactive Bladder Symptoms & treatment

[@LeighR666]

I went to a urologist with a couple of issues including this and my god was he so dismissive of my issues. Seemed more interested in whatever he was reading on his computer. Shrugged it all off as "nothing I can do about it". Learned more here than the specialist I paid to see.

I waited in the office 2 hours for the urologist. Was seen for 10 minutes (actually he only looked at his computer screen, no exam). Learn more online these days. Peace.

Hi m8 I know what it's like iv struggled for yrs with over sized prostate where iv ad cameras cancer scans peeing all over the place ops on stones in bladder nothing helped cut long story short changed GPS and bin through loads of UTI'S over some yrs so I asked to him to contact the incontinence people some thing I didn't won't to do but now having bags on night and day has changed my life completely sleeping all night not having to rush to loo or even having to thrust hand down to make shaw you get there in time and I can't run any more. Best thing iv do for me in yrs . Try this way its not as degrading as it sounds ok you might have a few hic cups but its 100% better than being wet in public think about it.

For women. It is not always overactive bladder. My bladder issues turned out to be a rare ovarian cancer. The tumor was big and sitting on top of my bladder. I had frequent urination and UTIS. Pay attention to your body. I was misdiagnosed three times. Until a gallbladder attack landed me in the hospital for the beginning stages of sepsis. The CT scan revealed a large mass in my uterus. Was sent to an oncologist who later identified it as a rare type of ovarian cancer. Woman's symptoms are all too often ignored or misdiagnosed. Having a gallbladder issue is how mine was discovered. After months of symptoms. It should have been caught earlier. It's only by God's grace I'm still here. All too often doctors can overlook this in women until it is so obvious. Keep seeking help til you're heard. It could save your life.

Seeing a urologist was the biggest waste of time for me. Her big solution was to have me take switch from taking taking two Tamsulosin pills once a day to taking one in the morning and one in the evening. I soon figured out that the Tamsulosin was causing my sinuses to bleed and I kept getting sinus infections (plus the Tamsulosin was doing nothing to improve my urinary issues). After the clinic dropped my call twice, I finally talked to someone at the urologist office (not a nurse) and she said that someone would call me back about my side effects. No one ever bothered to call me back. I quit taking the Tamsulosin and my sinus bleeding stopped the next day. Sell Big Pharma no matter the side effects. That's the state of the medical profession these days. My respect for doctors is currently at an all time low.

Here is what stopped mine completely. I went to my gynecologist doctor and was prescribed bioidentical hormones. The prescription is filled at a compounding pharmacy not a CVS or Walgreen type drug store. It contains estrogen, progesterone and a touch of testosterone. Worked like a miracle and within a month my incontinence stopped. The issue started for me when I was going into menopause. I have using the prescription cream for a good 15 years now and am incontinece free. I suggest finding a doctor that prescribes and getting on it when you start to experience those little accidents and don't put it off until your hormones are too far off.

[@zachevan1]

@@jasonali6441 About Interstitial Cystitis Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder condition resulting in recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder or surrounding pelvic region. People with IC usually have inflamed or irritated bladder walls which can cause scarring and stiffening of the bladder. Who is at risk for IC? IC affects men and women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds and ages. However, it is more common in women than men. Early prevalence research suggested that IC ranged from 1 out of every 100,000 to 5.1 out of every 100,000 in the general population; but updated epidemiologic research conducted in 2006 suggests that up to 12% of women may have early symptoms of IC. What causes IC? The cause(s) of IC is currently unknown. Its diagnosis is often made only after excluding other urinary bladder causes.

I had recurring UTI symptoms which sent me to the off hour clinic more than once. Oddly, no bacteria was found in the culture. After watching many masterclasses online I decided to do a parasite cleanse.

I had an episode of these kind of problems in my thirties. It turned out (in the long run) a major cause was the kind of work I was doing in those days; sitting behind a desk trying to solve intricate automation problems. Which meant sitting very concentrated for hours in one and the same position, mainly sitting on my lower back (sacrum) (like you see some gamers do), in a bad posture. It's not only the pelvic floor, it's the whole posture (neck, shoulders etc)). Your whole back gets a solid shield, and I can image the nerves that regulate the bladder, that come out of the sacrum are not very happy for not getting the room they need. Medical treatment did not work, but showed no anatomical abnormalities. It took a while to get rid of these issues, but most effect seemed to come (coincidence) from acting and singing lessons (that require freedom of movement). It's seems to be a matter of overall (not local) tightness, nor necessarily by sheer psychological stress, but in this case by bad habits (posture, sitting still for hours) that inevitable will have psychological effects too.

@@Anonymous-xp5hf Same here. As an interesting approach, as a way of looking at things like this you might want to read a book by writer Tim Parks: Teach Us to Sit Still: A Sceptic's Search for Health and Healing. Parks describes his search for relief from chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). At 18 probably not very appealing, but it offers a broader perspective. I got rid of it, but two years ago it suddenly was back after a visit to the dentist where i had to sit for one hour and a half in an uneasy chair, numbing my lower back. Which confirmed the mechanism. Good luck!

I am a male and I have most of the issues you’ve mentioned. I have to go CONSTANTLY and it affects my life. I was scared to go watch the Batman cuz of how much I was afraid I’d have to go to the restroom and miss the movie. I had a previous checkup with a doctor and they mentioned everything was fine which I find it hard to believe. They did a ultrasound to check on my kidneys. And to measure how much Urine I was releasing before and after I went. Results came back normal and I basically paid $400 for all testing etc. and I still seem to have this issue. I felt like doctor was jus takin my money so I stopped going. Even now for example, the other day I drank about 20oz of water. I ended up having to go restroom 6 times within first 3 hours. Almost sometimes as soon as every 15-20 minutes. So it doesn’t make sense what was my body releasing if everything is normal? I have the urge to go as if I can’t hold it yet not much comes out sometimes either like there’s not much pressure. It’s affecting my life and I don’t know what to do.

My first episode of complete urinary retention (I've had many since over the years) was when I was in my early 40's (in my 60's now) due to BPH. I am currently not having issues with BPH anymore after two surgeries and meds, but do have a neuro bladder and interstitial cystitis. I have a neurostimulator implanted for the IC. Even with meds, stimulator, and other treatments I have to urinate frequently, but without treatment I might as well sit on toilet all day or have a Foley catheter all the time. My options are very limited- just need to be near bathrooms.

My wife has suffered for 9+ years! She has tried everything and still has pain and also UTI's several times a year! She had had all of the tests and is told her bladder looks ok but still in constant pain. Some days are worse and she lays in bed those days. She has gone to three different URO-GYN's! One doctor went back to GYN and a male doctor treated her like she was ignorant and actually asked her if she knew what IC was and how to stop it! The nitwit told her everything she already knew and the last started out telling her she would help and her last visit two years ago told her that she'd never forget the first time she saw her because she had greyish coloring from all of the infection! She also told her there was nothing she could do because anything else would cause her more pain! She was told by the first doctor to use AZO products for the pain and long term use would not be harmful! She takes the little red pills and the large red one with Tylenol when the pain is too bad! She is tired and doesn't sleep because she goes to the bathroom every hour or so! This doctor is the first to suggest Botox! She has been told Botox in your bladder could cause your bladder to shut down and leave you with a bag! We do not go out because she is very uncomfortable and has to change positions constantly. Laying down keeps the pain down. If she gets a UTI she can't take the little red pills so she can get a good urine test. She can test positive and then drink a lot of fluids and then retest negative. Her family doctor is the only one helping her now. She also takes Ugora which helps with the UTI's. She had one bad one last year. All of the medicine they gave her made everything worse. Her first doctor treated her for overactive bladder and she had bad reactions from all of the drugs! Elmiron gave her partial blindness one day which scared the hell out of her. She even had a MRI of the brain order by a Neurologist and nothing showed up. Now Elmiron is shown to cause blindness. No one seemed the least bit concerned when she told them and it made her mad. She feels like a guinea pig and refuses to go to another Urologist. They have not helped her. She said that she is on her own. She has been sent info from ITC News to try Root Beer and black liquorice to help with the pain. She tries everything to stop the pain! If she could just have a day without pain she would be happy. She said it's like she got her period and it never stopped except now it's urine and she still wears pads for fear of having an accident! She gets emails from IC News and hopes they find some answers!

Bladder issues do stop you from leading an active life. You do try to plan outings or journeys, but most times avoid long outings, like walks, cinema, restaurants, family occasions because of the sudden urgency to pee without warning. It sometimes interferes with medical appointments etc. I try not to drink anything at least an hour before I leave my home, and don't drink anything while I'm out until I get home again. It gives me about an hour and half to do errands and home again before I suddenly wet myself in public 😂. I'm still waiting for an NHS appointment to have stones removed in my kidney, but my bladder seems to be overactive, especially when I decide to go out, Bladdy bladder 😂. I go toilet about 3 times a night, problem is I'm asleep in bed at the time 😂. The problem is that it's really embarrassing to explain to people why you can't make the occasion, or appointment, because you know you are going to get caught short if it's a long outing. Sometimes have an accident heading to appointments etc, only having to return home 🙄. Toilet has to be very close by at all times, because it's immediate with only seconds to spare. Bladdy bladder 😂. If you don't laugh, you'd cry. 😭😂

This doctor is the same as the rest of the doctors, I have suffered from overactive bladder for many years, I was treated with begmiga 50 mg, until I found a real doctor who told me my problem was B1 deficiency, I was prediabetic and even though I changed my lifestyle I still had the same problem, I took a dose of vitamin B1 200 mg per day and in a week the problem disappeared and there is obviously a scientific explanation for this problem but in my case the solution was vitamin B1.

I'm a 43 yr old guy. I don't pee more than 8 times in 24 hours. I don't have urgency. I don't have any incontinence. However, I DO HAVE nocturia. I wake up maximum 5 times a night and go to pee 2 times usually. Sometimes 1-2 hours after going to bed, sometimes 4 hours. Every time i wake up, I 'feel' urine in my bladder. I have measured it, sometimes it's only 100ml - shouldn't be enough to wake me, apparently. Sometimes it's 200-300ml. I can HOLD the urine in, I don't have a strong urge, but if I ignore it and manage to go back to sleep, I wake up again. I would pee more, but not that much, but I can ignore a few of them. Some I can't, if I can't fall back to sleep quick, that's when I get out to pee. I did various tests. Urologist thought it was an OA Bladder, but tablets didn't work. My GP thinks it's sleep related and I;m feeling the need to pee, because I'm waking up several times for another reason. I've tried cutting out liquids in the evening, not eat 2 hours before etc. it doesn't seem to be my habits. I'm now having my caffeine earlier in the day, although I don't have much. Ive had this since April 2021. I feel so tired every day. it's no life, but looks like it's my life. In the day time, i go to pee every 3-4 hrs, which is normal. I've been tested for Diabetes and Insulin Resistance. Both negative. My prostate was normal too

Hi Dr. Malik. My urinary problem is this: I can make it through the night w/o getting up to p BUT during the day I'm going starting right after breakfast. 8 to 10x/day. Urge comes on rather strong after breakfast and throughout the day. I do NOT: smoke, drink alcohol nor coffee or carbonated soft drinks. Terrible for kidneys. Right? I avoid sugary foods except in the evening. I eat oatmeal for breakfast and eat NON-sugary fruits with oatmeal and cereal. My weight: 22-23 BMI. I'm in my late 50's. I drink purified water. 1 L/day. I can't go anywhere without knowing a restroom is nearby. Urologist did cystometrogram. Verdict: 300cc max. bladder can hold before I burst. So what is it? BPH? Sugar diabetes? I've suspected that one for a long time. Weight gain is difficult too. Sick and tired of urinary frequency.
