What is the best solution to help a bladder problem?

Question

I don't have a UTI, yeast infection, any other infection, am not pregnant, and am not male and therefore don't have a prostate problem. I merely have problem that seems to've come up over the past two months in which I have a problem controlling my bladder. I don't have "accidents", but I'm always scared I might and have to use the bathroom extremely often. I've tried antibiotics and Detrol LA and neither have helped. I also do kegals regularly to tighten the bladder muscle but they don't seem to help either. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Answer 1

Treating bladder control problems.
Your treatment will depend on the type of bladder control problem you have. Some treatments are simple. Others are more complicated. Your health care team may suggest one of the following treatments:
Do-it-yourself treatments for bladder control problems:
Pelvic muscle exercises
You can learn simple exercises that can strengthen the muscles near the urethra. These are called pelvic muscle exercises or Kegel exercises and take only a few minutes a day.
Bladder training
You can train your bladder to hold urine better. Follow a timetable to store and release urine. You can also learn to decrease the urge to urinate.
Weight loss.
Sometimes extra weight causes bladder control problems. A good meal plan and exercise program can lead to weight loss.
Food and drink.
Some drinks and foods may make urine control harder. These include foods with caffeine (coffee, tea, cola, or chocolate) and alcohol. Your health care team can suggest how to change your diet for better bladder control.
Muscle therapy for bladder control problems:
Electrical stimulation
Certain devices stimulate the muscles around the urethra. This makes the muscles stronger and tighter.
Biofeedback
This takes the guesswork out of pelvic muscle exercise. A therapist places a patch over the muscles. A wire connects the patch to a TV screen. You watch the screen to see if you are exercising the right muscles. The therapist will help you. Soon you learn to control these muscles without the patch or screen.
Medical treatments for bladder control problems:
Medicines
Certain drugs can tighten or strengthen urethral and pelvic floor muscles. Other medicines can calm overactive bladder muscles.
Surgery
Some bladder control problems can be solved by surgery.
Many different operations can improve bladder control. The operation depends on what is causing the problem. In most cases, the surgeon changes the position of the bladder and urethra. After the operation, the bladder control muscles work better.

Soon, you will be able to buy new products. These products help control leaks. They do not cure the causes of bladder control problems.

The only real solution is to go to a doctor, as they would know how to treat your condition right away. Your health is too important to try to treat it yourself.
