Overactive Bladder is a Significant Health Problem by Paul Rodgers
Bladder problems are not a natural consequence of aging. They are not exclusively a problem of the elderly. Overactive bladder is a common
problem that can affect men, women and children of any age or race, although sufferers are predominately women and incidents of overactive bladder increase with age.
The most common causes of bladder problems are tumors,infections, bladder stones, and old age. Although these bladder problems are known to be dangerous in persons with spinal cord injury, in those with MS, however, current research suggests that it is relatively rare for these problems to lead to kidney disease.
Symptoms
Symptoms can vary from person to person, and should always be handled on an individual basis. The symptoms alone cannot determine whether the basic problem involves storage or emptying or something else.
People with bladder problems often drink less in the hope that reducing fluid intake will minimize bladder symptoms. People affected may experience some or all of the following symptoms, although it is possible to experience no symptoms at all:
Frequent urge to urinate painful or burning sensation when urinating,
generally tired or washed out most of the time ,
painful bladder or abdomen even when not urinating ,
passing a small amount of urine when urinating, even though there is an urge to pass more milky or cloudy urine that smells unusual high temperature.
Some fluids, such as coffee, tea, cola and other caffeinated drinks, along with alcohol, irritate the bladder and can make symptoms worse. If you are diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence you have probably reported symptoms which include loss of urine when you cough, laugh, sneeze, exercise or lift.
Bladder Health
From a health-care perspective, the number-one thing is the overall health of the bladder and urinary tract. Drinking at least 6 to 8 glasses of fluid every day is recommended for general health and the health of the urinary system.
The best self-help also involves a partnership between the person and the health-care professionals, and again, a trial-and-error period may ensue before the most helpful techniques are identified. Bladder symptoms can be hard to fix, and if you neglect to tell your health-care provider, the problems can get worse.
In rare cases surgery may be required to improve quality of life, and better health. However, as we learn more about the bladder and the delicate balance of acid and substances that help keep its lining healthy, we are understanding that a healthy lifestyle and diet can make major improvements to such miserable symptoms.
Diet
We know that healthy diet, water consumption, urine pH, frequency of urination, exercise, anxiety, and stress are all factors in urinary tract problems.
Diet modification is aimed at excluding any food or drink that appears to irritate the bladder or which may act as a diuretic to produce more urine, for example caffeine, alcohol, carbonated drinks, acidic food or drink, tomato-based products, chocolate, artificial sweeteners and spicy foods. Talk with a nurse, physician, or registered dietitian about other possible healthy diet changes and adaptations.
Exercise
Overactive bladder can severely restrict quality of life, negatively impact healthy habits such as regular exercise and adequate fluid intake, and limit social interaction and occupational function.
Avoiding exercise and social life because of bladder problems is a negative step. An active lifestyle, with adequate rest, is encouraged as an essential means of normalizing bladder and bowel function.
Treatments available for Urinary Incontinence include the following options: Pelvic floor muscle exercises (called Kegel's) are a series of exercises to promote strengthening of a group of internal muscles which support the bladder and the opening around the bladder as well as some of the internal organs. The strengthening exercises should be
instructed by a nurse, physical therapist, or occupational therapist to assure correct performance.
Natural Bladder Treatment
Control of symptoms is more easily accomplished with early treatment. Treatments for overactive bladder include pelvic muscle exercises, biofeedback, and medication.
In general, the milder incontinence is at the time treatment is begun, the easier it is to treat. As a result, it is important to have any bladder problems properly assessed to work out what is causing symptoms and what treatment is needed.
With a growing array of overactive bladder treatments including new drugs becoming available, the trick now is to figure out which kind of bladder problem you have and sort out the risks and benefits of the natural bladder treatments offered.
The exact bladder treatment prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type and severity of the disorder and the patient's level of disability,
manual dexterity, independence, and social support.

Conclusion
Bladder problems are an unavoidable fact of aging. They are often the first signals of back problems. Overactive bladder is not normal at any age and is most often treatable no matter what the cause. Although about half of the elderly have episodes of incontinence, bladder problems are not a natural consequence of aging, and they are not exclusively a problem of the elderly.
