Antibiotics aren't absolutely necessary unless you are having a horrible UTI. I get them from time to time never use an antibiotic, because I simply don't like to go on lots of those. They really screw with your system, and for me, typically lead to a yeast infection. Which is then just another pill I have to be on! Drink cranberry juice and a lot of water. Drink cranberry juice regularly if you have a tendency to get a lot of UTIs. Remember to always wipe front to back...a lot of times a UTI occurs when bacteria from the stool gets into the urethra...icky I know, but true! If you don't like cranberry juice much (I am not a big fan), try to mix it with half orange juice, and it is quite tasty. Orange juice, by the way, helps in the prevention of kidney stones (which I am very prone to getting myself)...and that was a recommendation from my Urologist.

If by "weak bladder" you mean you're having trouble with incontenence, the place to start dealing with it is with a complete physical workup by your doctor.  Know that millions of men experience such problems - medical personell too!\n\nThe easiest way to deal with it is to wear adult diapers such as Attends - there are a number of different brands, and the cheaper ones are just as effective.\n\nThere are a number of herbal remedies recommended by herbalists, but these really don't offer much relief, and most of 'em offer no relief at all.  There are prescription medications that can help, and for those you have to visit your doctor.  \n\nI can't begin to express how frustrated and disappointed I was when I began to experience such problems.  However, mine was due to an adverse reaction to a medication I was taking, subsequently discontinued.  That's another reason to talk the problem over with your doctor - the solution might - repeat, might - just be a change in the medicines you might be taking already for other reasons.  Good luck with this sometimes embarrassing problem!

Call on the pharmaceutical industry and get a prescription for one of the ED medications on the market. I doubt Ginseng or Yohimbe really make much of a difference. Good luck.

take cranberry pills and drink lots of water it helps clean out your urinary track or you can drink about fifteen to tweety beers and pee it out that way too. but the pills are the key it worked for me.

has it always been like this or just lately? coffee do work as diuretics- causing the loss of water in our body through urination. but they symptoms lasting for several hours sound very severe. could it be that you're intolerant towards caffeine? give decaf a go- i know what's the point of taking a decaf when you want the caffeine to keep you alert. if these persists, and you want your energy- there are other options. energy drinks, ginseng tea, and many more. hope that you're able to find a way through this. take care!

It is called stress incontinence.  I have the same thing, when you are going out, especially drinking, take a sudafed.  It blocks receptors on the sphincters that let the urine out.

Honey, go buy "Uristat" by the makers of Monastat.  It will ease your discomfort and make the "burn" feeling go away when you urinate.  In the mean time...make an appointment with your Dr. and go get the medicine to clear up the UTI....all you have to do is pee in a cup.  Most Dr.'s use a color coded strip that they put in the urine sample so, you need to NOT take the uristat about 24 hours before your appointment because the uristat will make your urine this wierd orange color and that will make it hard for the lab to read the color coded strip.  Don't put off the appointment for sure...the UTI  will only get worse.  Good luck.

Avoid diuretics (substances that make you go pee) like asparagus and coffee. Don't drink alcohol either.\n\nAnd if you REALLY must go, bring a container with you (although hopefully you can make a pit stop somewhere).

Not really - you could try Kalms or St Johns Wort - some say they work but never have for me.  If its that bad go and see your GP xx

I think that you should just drink cranberry juice. That way you know it's going through you urinary tract.

Don't drink anything else but water, even if it makes you pee alot. And try to walk as much as you can or keep yourself in constant motion even though sometimes you dont feel like it. But when you do it, don't over stress yourself. It worked for me and I lost 20 pounds in a month.

Cure? .. well maybe not, but I drink this horrible tasting herb, called Uva Ursi. You can buy it in tea form at Whole Foods or hopefully any natural grocery store. Also try setting a ridiculous goal for yourself - like drinking a big glass of water on the hour, every hour. Yeah, having to pee all the time sucks - but so do infections! Did you tell your doctor that the anitbiotics weren't working? You might have a resistant strain of something, maybe they can just prescribe something different for you, without you having to actually go back to their office. \nGood luck....

Water and time.  \n\nThere are no "magical" detoxifying products that whisk away drug particles from your system.  All these "detoxification" products you can buy are really only diuretics (they make you urinate).\n\nLet me reiterate this:  Those detoxification products you can find for sale?  They're pretty much bullhsit.  Drinking a lot of water and drinking some tea (which is a diuretic) will accomplish the same feat.\n\nThe only thing of significance that some products offer is an extra amount of crap to make it appear as if your urine is not diluted (usually some creatinine).  This way, when you are tested the urine will not come back as "diluted".  However, most testing laboratories do not go the extra step unless your urine has obviously been watered down.
