Got any ideas?

Question

I have pretty bad shy bladder syndrome, and it drives me insane sometimes. I'm a member of a forum for people with this problem, and I have practiced using public bathrooms with some success, but it still interferes with my life. Although I'm on the road to overcoming it, are there any things I can do in the meantime to make it easier to go? Since I'm not 18 yet and we have rules at my house, I wouldn't be able to see a doctor or take any kind of remedies for this problem, but are there certain mental exercises, foods that help with anxiety, etc. that I could try? (I know people often suggest running water or listening to music, but I've tried those and they don't really do anything...) I appreciate any constructive input, but I'd prefer if people didn't just joke around or give mean answers...
I know I've asked this before, but I keep getting the same two answers; I appreciate that those people care that much, but I'd also like to hear other people's suggestions.

For some reason, I don't do yearly physicals; I only go to the doctor if my school requires it (don't ask why; I have no idea either). I just turned 17, and the last time I had a physical was when I was 14 and had to have one to go to high school...

Wow, you sure put some thought into your answer; however, I don't think I have a bladder infection. (Which is shocking, actually, since there have been times I've gone over 24 hours unable to pee...) I just lock up and can't pee at all if anyone is around, waiting for me, etc.

Answer 1

You have not been able to solve this problem, you know why ?
Because our conventional Doctors know nothing about CURING really they don't. All they are good for is inventing fancy names for what they cannot understand and hence cannot cure. And ranting against Homeopathy which is beyond their comprehension. Pity isn't it ?
Now to answer your question and curing you like I always say without any side effects, complications or further problems.
Take this Homeopathic remedy NATRIUM MUR in 30 potency, you will have to take it three times a day, the dosage is three drops of the remedy in just a sip of warm water on an empty stomach i.e atleast half an hour before or after meals. Report back with your progress after three days. Now go and get well as I said.
I was not answering any questions but your plight and the ineffectiveness of our "DOCTORS" compeled me to answer yours. I am a Healer not a salesman of useless chemicals which have no cure and loads of side effects and complications.
I answer peoples questions not to sell them anything but to help them solve their health issues the quickest and without any complications and in telling and advocating the best form of CURING, "Homeopathy cures par excellence." Take the remedy and please let everyone in here know about how it effected you, Yes Natrium Mur is common Table salt (Sodium Chloride) and diluted to what idiots here call it to mere water. Just let everyone know. Has plain water ever worked like this. :o)
The very best of Health to you.

Go with God my friend.
Take Care and God Bless you

Answer 2

I don't know how to respond to this question, but i'll try to give you a straight answer.

I think that the only way to overcome this problem is to make it a habit of using public restrooms.

without being able to use remedies or see a doctor, you would have to use mental remedies.

Some would include:
Using public restrooms more often
going to the bathroom at school a lot
drinking more fluids so that you become desperate (srry didn't mean for it to be a joke)
and going to the bathroom with your friends so you're more comfortable.


hope my answer helped

Answer 3

Unusual question, but I know what you mean.

I have worked in the cooking industry and they defiantly do not like their employees going to the toilet in front of others. I got told: “how would you like it if a cook offered you a hot dog when the last thing you saw was him holding his ... in the toilet. It's not worth risking loosing a customer, go in a private toilet.”

However you may not always have the option of using a private toilet if you go to school, are in the military, work on a construction site without toilets, on a long road trip, out on a bush or camping trip or are on a boat.

I can not give you any suggestions, but the best is not to be embarrassed about it, all of us have experienced it.

Answer 4

Drink water.... you need at least 2 liters a day just to keep the body going.
You can also drink cranberry juice... see if you can get the stuff without all that corn syrup in it. You can always water it down.
For the anxiety... hit the health food store and get "Holy Basil"... I like the stuff by New Chapter.
You can also help your electrolytes by putting a pinch of "Celtic Sea Salt" (also at the health food store) into each glass of water.

Causes of Bladder Infection
The primary cause of bladder infection is bacteria that are unable to be eliminated from the urinary tract. The problem is not due to bacteria getting in to the urinary tract, but to bacteria not being able to get out.

Preventing Bladder Infection
In order to prevent bladder infection, women should do the following:

Avoid urinating after intercourse until necessary. Full urination enables the body to more effectively eliminate bacteria from the urinary tract.

Consider your choice of contraceptive. Women should avoid the use of overly large fitted diaphragms, as these prevent effective voiding of the bladder, especially after intercourse. Contraceptive sponges can cause similar problems. Better birth control options are to wear a cervical cap, or to have your partner wear a condom.


Quick Action Steps for Bladder Infection

1. Avoid urinating after intercourse until necessary. Full urination enables the body to more effectively eliminate bacteria from the urinary tract.

2. During intercourse, avoid using overly large fitted diaphragms and contraceptive sponges, which can prevent effective voiding of the bladder. It is better to wear a cervical cap, or to have your partner wear a condom.

3. Avoid all sugars, refined carbohydrates, sodas, processed foods, preservatives, artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame), corn syrup, alcohol, white bread and white flour products, pastries, and hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as all foods to which your are allergic.

4. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

5. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.

6. Drink 16 ounces of organic, unsweetened blueberry or cranberry juice.

7. Useful nutrients for treating bladder infection include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin, C, zinc, and acidophilus.

8. Adding half a teaspoon of mannose powder to pure filtered water and drinking it every one to two hours can speed recovery.

9. The herbs buchu, corn silk, couch grass, goldenseal, marshmallow leaf, and uva ursi can also be helpful, as can fresh parsley.

10. To relieve symptoms, take alternating hot and cold sitz baths.
Consult with a homeopathic physician to determine an appropriate homeopathic remedy.

Best of health to you

Answer 6

Why can't you see a doc??? Are you do for your yearly physical soon? If so then ask your mom to schedule it soon and then talk to your doctor about this.
