Direct examination (DRE, etc) is done to determine if the prostate is enlarged or not. The cause of an overactive or irritable bladder is not fully understood. The bladder muscle seems to become overactive and contract when you do not want it to. Symptoms may get worse at times of stress, by caffeine in tea, coffee, cola and by alcohol. Treatment with bladder training often cures the problem. Sometimes medication may also be prescribed.
Take care and best regards.
No they dident tell me that was the problem, i think just and angry red bladder, very overactive all the time, i have no pain when i urinate or anything, i feel no pain in my bladder but sometimes i do notice that sometimes (quite often but not always) when i pee i can feel some muscles below my testicles really tense up very hard and it's a little bit painful for a few seconds but not too bad, they basically told me i had an inflamed bladder, and they gave me some medication to take too it
So I have an overactive bladder that came from giving birth to my first 2 kids. It caused my bladder to lower and have pressure. and being pregnant my doctor said I couldn't take antibiotics. So I really going to h.eck trying to deal with an over active bladder which makes me urinate every half hour, plus the pregnancy that also makes me urinate even more. So I literally go to the restroom every 15 min. I'm so frustrated by it I wanna cry.
About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with an overactive bladder after doing all the tests. I was put on Vesicare 5 mg daily and also was taking fluoxetine for depression and anxiety over this condition. After taking the meds for awhile my symptoms went away and I was symptom free for 3 years. Because of the expense of the vesicare and because I was doing so well. I decided to stop taking both medications. My bladder was fine and normal and then about a year later the symtoms came back.
I just read your post about Atrial Fib and meds for overactive bladder. I have Atrial Fib, and my doctor wanted to prescribe Vesicare. I read up on this med, and found it could cause irregular heartbeats.
This makes me nervous. What medication are you currently taking for the bladder problem? Is it working for you, and does it cause a problem with the heart?
I would like to hear from you since I'm right in the middle of trying to find the right med.
HI, You sound like you have the classic symptoms of overactive bladder. Overactive bladder (OAB) is driven by the strong ugency to urinate. It commonly causes urinary frequency and many patients get up at night to void. About a thrid of overactive bladder patients can't make it to the toilet and leak urine on the way.
HI, It sounds like you had two problems that resulted in the bedwetting episode. First, it sounds like you have overactive bladder. Overactive bladder symptoms are urinary urgency, frequency and sometimes getting up at night to void. 5% of 25 yr olders have overactive bladder. You either have a structurally small bladder or its a functional problem where low volumes of urine in your bladder trigger the urge to void. Patients with overactive bladder "tend to urinate frequently".
Over the course of the year I avoided acidic food and drink and took various herbs known to soothe the bladder which slowly seemed to get rid of it. Since then I just seem to get an overactive/irritated bladder after a glass of red wine or my bladder feels irritated if I drink a ginger-based smoothie or something else like that.
I recently had what was diagnosed as a gall bladder attack. I had a scan of some sort done to "study" my gall bladder, and the result was that I actually have an "overactive" gall bladder. The attack lasted a full week although the intense pain lasted two days. For that week, I was rarely hungry and ate only fat free and cholesterol free foods. Since that week, I have felt totally fine and have been eating whatever I want.
What medication is the favorite for Overactive Bladder? So far, I've been thru two of them. I believe I have five more to go.
Please let me get some feedback from those of you who have this problem, and are taking meds that work.
The urine culture came back negative. He now thinks I have a vaginal irritation from the urine and overactive bladder and percribed ditropan. At night the burning seems worse but I am only up a couple of times. Also the burning is worse when sitting and lessens when standing. I also have pain in my left overy. He has completed an internal and vaginal swab. How can you tell the difference between overactive bladder and Interstitial Cystitis?
I developed an overactive bladder problem during my college years due, I think, to a combination of stress and habit-forming. For the past several years (I am now in my mid-20's) I have worked on the problem through retraining my bladder, exercising my pelvic floor muscles, and paying close attention to my fluid intake throughout the day. I have had some success in overcoming the problem, but sometimes it resurfaces particularly when I am experiencing stress, anxiety or nervousness.
Well, I don't think it's an overactive bladder because I constantly have bladder pressure, not a sudden urge to urinate.
Also, I can tell that my bladder is inflamed when I press against my abdomen.
I am only 32, I don't know why I am experiencing this problem?
I have been diagnosed with bacterial infection of bladder by one urologist and overactive bladder by another and third one says I have also developed yeast infection --vulvitis due to antibiotics I took to cure the UTI. So now that I am completely fed up with the antibiotics and urologists am trying to get to the bottom of this whole issue myself with the help of my third and probably last urologist.
If bladder muscles become too active, you may feel a strong urge to go to the bathroom when you have little urine in your bladder. This is urge incontinence or overactive bladder. There are other causes of incontinence, such as prostate problems and nerve damage. Treatment depends on the type of problem you have and what best fits your lifestyle. It may include simple exercises, medicines, special devices or procedures prescribed by your doctor, or surgery.
For the past year I have had on and off problems with an overactive bladder. Urispas was my treatment and it always worked. in a matter of one night 2 months ago, I had a tingly feeling, a large amount of discharge and then constant sensation to urinate. It feels like its burning inside but my actual pee does not burn. Since then my menstral cycle has been worse. I was treated for PID because my cervix seemed inflammed so i was treated for PID. The treatment helped.
Are you saying the TUMT probably doesn't have anything to do with the overactive bladder?
If you are actually voiding a good amount of urine each time you go, you must be drinking that much water. Frequent urination can be signs of a bladder infection, overactive bladder, urinary tract infection, diabetes, certain STD's. Go to the dr.
what can I do to feel better all he time? Will this overactive bladder ever get better? Do I have to take medication for the rest of my life?
Please let me hear from someone who can answer my questions.
Thank you . . .
