Whats good for an overactive bladder besides prescription DETROL?
Overactive bladder is easily treated for most people by using behavioral techniques instead of medications. Medications only control the symptoms. They don’t solve the underlying behaviors so that whenyou stop the medications, you still have the problem (maybe worse than it was before) Overactive bladder gets worse over time IF you don’t learn how to calm the bladder down and make it wait until you are in control and the sense of urgency has passed. Rushing to the bathroom to prevent accidents seems like a logical solution. But at an unconscious level, the bladder is learning not to wait. Your bladder is an “intelligent” organ that learns from your behaviors. If you consistently ignore Urge, your bladder learns to wait. On the other hand, if you respond to Urge by rushing to the bathroom your bladder learns that it is the boss and ca go whenever it wants. You are its slave. When you rush to the bathroom in response to Urge, the bladder learns a behavior that nullifies the original toil
