An overactive bladder refers to a condition in which there is a frequent, sudden, and uncontrollable urge to urinate. This urge to urinate may occur only during the day or night; or both. The urinary bladder is a sac-like muscular organ. It stores urine produced by the kidneys until it passes out of the body through the urethra. When the urinary bladder fills up completely, there is an exchange of a series of nerve signals between the urinary bladder, the brain, and the pelvic floor. The coordination between these nerve signals makes the detrusor muscle of the bladder contract, the pelvic floor and the external sphincter of the bladder relax, and helps the urine to drain out. In the case of an overactive bladder, the bladder muscles contract involuntarily and make the person feel the need to pass urine even when the bladder is only slightly filled.
Homeopathy is a wonderful treatment option to manage cases of overactive bladder. This treatment is completely safe and natural that works wonderfully to give symptomatic relief to the patient. It works by treating the root cause and strengthening the bladder muscles and improving their function. In overactive bladder cases, the conventional mode of medicine mainly utilises medicines that aid relaxation of bladder muscle, botox injection in bladder, nerve stimulation and for severe cases surgical treatment.

Hello
I am looking for a homeopathic remedy for my Overactive Bladder.
I am 57, menopausing from 2021.
OAB started approximately in 2020.
Urgency after drinking coffee, when back home and right near my entrance door.
Only day urgency at least one time, depends on what I drink or eat, at nights I go to pee two or more times. I try to limit liquids intake, then this reduced my urgencies.
I read there is one called Mercurius Solubilis.
Is there any other remedies I can buy from you?
Could you advice me on a dosage and length of the treatment please?
Kind Regards,
Aliona.
Hello I am suffering with over active bladder dry. I have put it down to my collagen depletion due to my menopause. I would say I am post menopausal now, with slight flushes. I have IBS which I manage well. Not on medication for it. I have been on solifenacin 10mg for a year and 4 months, it control the urge pressure, but not completely takes it away. I am looking for an alternative for the medication. Would you ge able to recommend a homepathy remedy I could try please? I did try stopping my medication recently for a couple of days but felt the urge coming back straight away.
Kind regards Elaine Strain
