Suggest Treatment For Over Active Bladder
Question: I am hoping you can.
I have purchased D-Mannose Powder to fight my overactive bladder but it does not help to any degree.
I was perscribed: Ciproflox (without results) and had an urine test (negative). My bladder is behaving
very badly and does not give me any warning. I am eating pumpkinseeds and drinking Cranberry Juice.
I am male, 88 years old and generally in good condition.
Thanks, XXXXX
