Urge Incontinence and Weak BladderTreatment

Read More About Health Care

Weak Bladder and Urge Incontinence are really similar in their symptoms with the primary difference being that with just weak bladder the person doesn't necessarily experience bladder incontinence.

Both the weak bladder and urge incontinence will have strong bladder urgency to run to the bathroom and both experience urinary frequency, sometimes going to the bathroom as often as every 15 minutes.

But people with weak bladder or over active bladderas it is often called don't totally lose bladder control before they get to the toilet. The bladder treatment options for both weak bladder and urge incontinence are similar.

Bladder treatment for both weak bladder and urge incontinence consist of three primary bladder treatment approaches. Which bladder treatment is chosen is dependent on how severe the weak bladder or urge incontinence is.

The Bladder Treatment options for Urge Incontinence and Weak Bladder are

1. Medical - several medications that are available to help with weak bladder and urge incontinence.

2. Bladder Training - a natural bladder treatment that teaches the bladder to be under the person's control again.

3. Surgery - bladder treatment for severe cases.

Bladder medications relax the bladder muscles of a weak bladder and calm down bladder spasms that make a person feel urinary urgency.

Some medicines improve urge incontinence by helping the muscles that keep the bladder closed to prevent bladder leakage.

Two drawbacks to using bladder medications are the side effects of dry mouth and constipation and the ongoing costs. And the other problem is that medications only manage symptoms. They don't really "fix" the weak bladder or urge incontinence.

Bladder training for weak bladder and urge incontinence takes a few weeks and consists of teaching the person new toileting habits, examining dietary influences and doing kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscle that help with bladder control.

Kegel exercises or pelvic floor muscle exercises are effective with weak bladder, urge incontinence and with bowel incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Biofeedback may be used to help with the learning kegel exercise techniques as well as to monitor the improving strength and conditioning of the pelvic floor muscles.

Surgical operations may improve the storage capacity of a weak bladder and lessen the pressure sensation inside the bladder. It's appropriate for people who are seriously constrained by urge incontinence. Generally every other technique will be attempted thoroughly prior to pursuing surgery.

Do yourself a favor and try a bladder training program after consulting with your medical care provider.

And have a great day as you begin to reclaim bladder control.
