Bladder Control is a Real Issue
This article is going to discuss bladder control, but more importantly some of the medications that can be taken if you have bladder control issues. First, you will of course need to be diagnosed with having bladder control issues.Bladder infections can be caused for a number of reasons, such as enlarged prostates or maybe even catheter insertions. The reason females are more likely to get bladder infections is because they come into contact with bacteria much more easily then males.
Bladder infections (if cranberry juice doesn’t work) can be fixed with antibiotics that are designed to kill the infected area. Usually, like other antibiotics, this will have to go on for two to four weeks and alcohol should not be consumed while taking antibiotics. Those with more severe problems will probably have to spend more time on the antibiotic.
There are basically two kinds of urinary incontinence and these include stress incontinence and urge incontinence. The type of treatment will naturally have everything to do with the type of incontinence problem you have. Stress incontinence has to do with bladder sphincter. Medicines like the alpha adrenergic agonist family will help give the sphincter strength to stop bladder control issues.
There area also medicines that get rid of the urge incontinence. This is where the bladder contracts involuntarily and this has to do with extreme bladder issues that cause large amounts of urine to be lost all at once involuntarily. Some of these types of medications might include calcium channel blockers and tricyclic antidepressants of all things.
