Overactive bladder and anxiety

Hi

Sorry you are going through this. Anxiety will add to the urgency to urinate.
Your doctor might need to adjust the dose of the Detrol LA or change to another bladder controlling medication.

Are you going to urologist?

Thanks for your post. I am seeing a new urologist. He did prescribe Vesicare, but I am just waiting for it to work.

Wish me luck.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I have been where you are. If you drink caffeine it will also make it much worse. It is possible to retrain your bladder so that you will only have to go every 3-4 hours. It takes a lot of the anxiety away. It does take a few months of being persistent and on schedule. Maybe you should do some research on it and see if you would want to try it.

There is a cure for overactive bladder if it is caused by anxiety. I have suffered for the last 2 years with over active bladder. I am a 30 year old male from North Carolina. Doctors said at first I had an inflamed prostrate. Prostatitis is what it is called. All of my urine and std tests came back negative. After 2 different types of prostrate bacteria medicine didn't work, doctors than said I have overactive bladder. I took vesicare and it didn't help. The way I finally figured out it was anxiety causing the overactive bladder was because if I was visiting a friend or on vacation it didn't bother me as much or I would even forget about the constant urge to urinate. I am under extreme pressure and stress and the situation doesn't let me tell family or friends about it. I pray everyday that I will be able to get out of this spot I am in. But I have been battling this hand I have been dealt for 2 years. But at least my bladder doesn't bother me any more.



Best of luck to everyone and I hope you all get relieve.

What you're describing sounds like my situation - I don't think it is anything physical, because stressful situations (travel, presentations, etc.) leads to more urgency, whereas I can sit and fish for hours no problem. What did you finally do to alleviate the problem?

The doctors said there is no way to test for this type of over active bladder. I met someone who said the doc's diagnosed him with IC. I told him what I did. And he was cured too. I am not saying you have this type of OB. But to figure it out will only cost you $20. Go to the health food store and buy pills for aniexty or stress, or calm pills. Take twice the doses it recommends. If in 3 days you feel better. Go to the doctor and he will give you muscle relaxer's. If your muscle tightens near your bladder, it causes the muscle and prostate to apply pressure on the bladder, give you the constant urge to urinate. I also bought a ebook cure of IC. It said sodium/salt is the cause of all OB/IC. It didnt work. I am cured now and I am loving life. I wish you the best of luck. Email me if you want other things I have tried. I have found natural cures for IC, OB, . Kind regards, Jesse

I have had surgery to correct something related to my overactive bladder but it still persists now. THe doctor told me that might happen. It is so hard to stay away from caffeine, chocolate, soda, tomatoe sauce, citrus fruits;etc. Detrol LA seems to be the best one so far, too, but it doesn't control it very much.

Overactive Bladder is a disease due to which the patient feels regular urination. The bladder problem may occur in the man and woman both if this disease becomes bigger issue then it may also result in bladder cancer. So this is important to take care of this problem in the beginning
