Vesicare solifenacin overactive bladder
Common Questions and Answers about Vesicare solifenacin overactive bladder
vesicare
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.
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.
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
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.
I went to a urologist who said I have an inf inflamed testicular cyst on the right side and possibly a case of low grade epididymitis bilaterally. He also said most likely have overactive bladder. Started me on Levaquin 500mg PO QD x 7 days and Vesicare 10mg PO QD.The cyst went down but the pain around the epdidymis persisted w/ no change. After 4 weeks of Vesicare I still have no change in my nocturia. I had an ultrasound of my bladder, testicles, kidneys all normal.

Anyway, I had started on the Vesicare 10mg, for my overactive bladder. Well it appeared to be working, so when I saw my urologist, I told him for the most part it is working. Before I started the Diamox, my bladder kinda went back to the old dysfunctional way. Not completely but the freaquency came back, urges, alittle of the leakage, not as bad, the urge to go and cant, are back. Has anyone ever had this happen to them, and what could this mean? Should I go back to see my Doc?
If diabetes is ruled out then other possibilities which need to be ruled out are interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder syndrome, stroke and other neurological diseases, urinary incontinence, bladder cancer(rare) and bladder dysfunction .
Please consult a urologist in that case.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Ok here goes: I'm 28/female, pretty healthy ... on 10/6, about 1 week before I was to leave for Vegas I was extremely nervous about flying. Out of the blue I started having frequent urination problems. No urgency (meaning I could hold it if I had too) but just frequent trips to the bathroom. No real pain or anything. I have an underlying anxiety disorder that is not controlled and I did start to panic about these symptoms which in turn probably made them worse.
They will put you on the new medicines for overactive bladder like Detrol LA or Vesicare. As for the being thristy--sometimes this is a side effect of medicines but you really need to be checked by a doctor right away.
Hope this helped and everything is fine.
About four months, I had symptoms that were consistent with a UTI (burning during urination, frequent urination, lower back pain). I went to my PCP and although the urinanalysis showed nothing, my PCP put me on Cipro. After a week of that, I still had symptoms, so I went back. I had a pelvic exam and did another urinanalysis (again negative). My PCP gave me an antispasmodic and a numbing pill for the burning sensation (I don't remember the name of it, but it turned my urine orange).
Overactive bladder +/- a vaginal infection may be the problem. Urispas is a mild overactive bladder agent. There are many stronger ones including Detrol LA and Vesicare. If the vaginal swab and urine cultures come back negative you need to see a Urologist who specializes in female urology to evaluate for overactive bladder vrs. IC. Good Luck.
Are you saying the TUMT probably doesn't have anything to do with the overactive bladder?
I'm 21 and I've recently started having an over active bladder (well that's what I think it is) so basically I have to pee all of the time, I began thinking a lot of it was mental, as I have to go 3 times before I can go to bed, even the slightest trickle, unless I cannot stop thinking about it. I have been put on medication for overactive bladder- vesicare, but it's not helping at all.
i have to pee every 5 mins. wen i try to get a good night sleep i have to wake up every 30 mins to pee sometimes i wet myself. even in public i wet myself. it's so embarassing! but it comes and goes. also when i pee it feels like an orgasm and wen i'm done i feel like i've got to go again. any suggestions???

However, I still urinate every 15 minutes, so my urologist told me I have overactive bladder. Im taking vesicare now-starting tonite, ugh. How did you fathers situation turn out?
In summary, results of tests were a slightly enlarged prostate and in his opinion, an overactive bladder to be treated with Enablex. He did not seem concerned with my prostate.
Here's my problem. I am still having general urethra discomfort and persistent need to urinate but often without the ability to urinate. This has been going on ever since my initial UTI symptoms in mid-November and it's driving me crazy.
I did suspect HSV but you put that to rest.
Interstitial Cystitis and overactive bladder are both sensory urgency problem, and sometimes difficult to distinguish. We also know that many patients have both problems. I would start by treating you with an overactive bladder medication like ditropan or vesicare and see what happens to your symptoms. If they no not respond, then treating you IC may be the ultimate solution. Good Luck.
Hi,
The bladder spasms can make the bladder wall contract even before the bladder is completely full making the patient visit the toilet frequently. The muscle relaxants like vesicare are used for the treatment. However other methods can also be used like avoiding drinking things that act as bladder irritants such as sodas, alcohol or coffee. In some patients, electrical stimulation is applied to the nerves controlling spasms to make them relax.
It had started out as OAB (overactive bladder) and got progressively worse. It was a real dilemna because with the post op pain I couldn't move fast, but the urgency required me to move fast. I'd be fine one minute and the next minute I had to go so bad I couldn't hold it. Finally, the doc put me on Vesicare, but my insurance doesn't cover it so I had to change to Ditropan which was moderately effective.
hello Doc, well im back I last 2months i have been goin back and forth with a urology residence program for the same symptoms overactive bladder and premature ejaculation. I was put on Uroxatrol for 3 wks , then Vesicare for 3 wks, neither one of these medications even slightly slowed down the excessive need to urinate.
am a male 42 years old. I was diagnosed with minimal prostate hyperplasia and bladder neck hypertrophy. Are these two different conditions with different treatments?
The urine culture always came out negative but even then I have taken oflaxcin for 6 weeks and then Bectrin DS for 4 weeks. Antibiotics help for a while but then cause more problems like stomach pain and cramps. I had leukocytes in the urine but the culture was negative.
I have been on flomax (0.
does anyone get headaches from taking vesicare?? They seen to go away with advil. Anyone had these symptons, did they lessen with longer use of vesicare??
It all started initially with frequent urination for which my primary care physician put me on a dose of Vesicare (Solifenacin). I took it for about a week, and was fine for few days, but then the symptoms again showed up. In the meantime, he had me take urine culture tests, blood tests, and a did a physical exam of my prostate. They all seemed to be normal.
I was referred to a urologist who then told it may be a case of non bacterial prostatitis, although I did not have any pain.
