How To Treat An Overactive Bladder And Cystitis?
I have an overactive bladder. I have tried meds and kegel and retraining of the bladder and none of them have cured me. I don t wet myself I just need to go all the time without actually having anything to pee. I can hold it if I want but it is annoying and it distracts me from work. It also seems to be worst during ovulation or before my period. I am 34 years old. I have had it almost all my life and have treated in the past with Vesicare but when I tried it again it didn t work. Also for 3 years I was suffering from cystitis and utis but this seems to have gone away.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Cystitis is an bacterial infection and it must be treated with antibiotics.
Oveerreactive bladder is another thing but it may definitely contribute to higher risk of bladder inflammation. This is also a common and often embarrassing problem. If overreactive bladder affects your daily activities, don't hesitate to see your doctor. For most people, simple lifestyle changes or medical treatment can ease discomfort. It is treated with specific medications, pelvic floor muscles exercises, electric stimulation of bihevioral treatment and in most cases this is adequate for incontinence control.
Surgical options are reserved for severe and intractable cases.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
