Diet. Alcohol, tomatoes, spices, chocolate, caffeine, citrus drinks, artificial sweeteners and acidic foods may irritate your bladder. That makes symptoms worse. Try removing these things from your diet for a couple of weeks. Then try eating one food at a time to see if it makes your symptoms worse. \nSmoking. Many people with interstitial cystitis find that smoking makes their symptoms worse. Because smoking is also a main cause of bladder cancer, people with interstitial cystitis have another good reason to quit smoking. \nBladder training. Many people can train their bladder to urinate less often. You can train your bladder by going to the bathroom at scheduled times and using relaxation techniques. \nPhysical therapy and biofeedback. People with interstitial cystitis may have painful spasms of pelvic floor muscles. If you have muscle spasms, you can learn exercises to help strengthen and relax your pelvic floor muscles. \nTENS (this stands for "transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation"). You can use a TENS machine to put mild electrical pulses into your body through special wires. Some doctors think that electrical pulses increase blood flow to the bladder. The increased blood flow strengthens the muscles that help control the bladder. It also releases hormones that block pain.

Go to your doctor, a walk in clinic, or even the ER. Bladder infections can quickly spread to the kidneys and cause serious problems. In the meantime, go buy AZO. It's an over the counter pain reliever for UTI's.  Your doctor can give you something stronger when you see him/her.

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!

That's something to do with the bladder or the urinary tract, I believe..\n\nI wouldn't know about the cause, nor the cure, but I'm sure a doctor can be of more use.

you need to seek medical attention by a physician..but i do believe from past experience..you have a bladder infection,more commonly known as a UTI and need a perscription medication to treat it.

The first reconmendation would be to go to a Dr.\n\nIf you in fact do have a bladder infection you can also drink cranberry juice (if you can get passed the taste)\n\nAnother one is chicken broth. Sounds strange but works to flush out the kidneys/bladder..\n\nTaking antibiotics along with cranberry juice/chicken broth will help in recovery faster.

There is no way to cure a UTI without antibiotics.  Cranberry juice can help flush it out, but it will not cure it.  Also drinking plenty of fluids can help, and there is AZO which is over the counter to treat any discomfort you may have, but this can only be used for a maximum of 2 days.  You really need to see a doctor for an exam and treatment.

No,its not. When you have a UTI you should take the medications prescribed by your doctor, and drink plenty of cranberry juice & water. Both of those help flush your body out.

I have been having UTI's since I was 4 years old so I can definately assure you that they are not solely caused by sex. It is a bacterial infection which could be caused by something as simple as you wiped your bottom the wrong way and e-coli transferred from your anus to your urethra. Most women will at least get a few in their life.\n\nYou should definatley tell her so she can take you to the doctors. Antibiotics are the best way to clear up a UTI.

Probably not likely... I would suspect if anything the reverse would be true.  That is, bacteria from the kidney infection would get down into your bladder and irritate it, causing it to act "overactive".  Overactive bladder's main symptom is causing you to urinate more, which if anything would be likely to help you flush infecting organisms out of your body more frequently, especially if you're doing what you should be doing and drinking a lot of water.\n\n   Another condition you might want to be checked for, though, is "urinary reflux" -- where some of the urine flows back from your bladder up into your kidneys instead of coming out the way it's supposed to when you try to urinate.  That would cause frequent urination AND make you more susceptible to bladder and kidney infections, since it gets bacteria flowing in the wrong direction through your urinary tract.  I'd suggest seeing a urologist and having them check you out for that.  Good luck!

Could be; (1) a urinary tract infection; (2) anxiety; and (3) enlarged prostate.\n\nRelax when you urinate.  Give yourself time to get out as much urine as possible.\n\nA quick way to alleviate an infection down there:  Drink cranberry juice -- the good kind made out of 100% juice.  There is an acid in there that makes your urine even more acid and bacteria holding onto the walls of the urethra let loose when they encounter increased acidity.  Also drink plenty of water.\n\nIf the problem persists much longer, I suggest you visit your family physician and perhaps a urologist.\n\nGood luck.  Rest assured, you are not the first or last guy to experience this problem.  You'll find a solution.
