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.

Hello Dr Sharma
I have a problem with frequent and profuse urination day and night and I rarely feel that the bladder has emptied totally. At night, every time I turn in my sleep I’m am awaken with the desire to urinate. The urine is copious and clear and has no foul smell. However, the feeling of fullness doesn’t entirely abate, After I have urinated I wait and usually a rather weak flow will recommence but i rarely feel i have evacuated all the urine. I’m female, 75 years old. My urine t sets are normal. When I was about 27 I had an endometriectomy in which endometriosis was found on the bladder. It was removed and after that i began to have bladder weakness problems. I can contract cystitis easily. No doubt there is scar tissue in the region. I just had two parathyroid tumors removed. I have had digestive problems b ut require no medication. I would appreciate your counsel. With kind regards,

I am amazed to see that he did not write something on gelsemium. You can take gelsemium 1m kali phos 12X .. first of all find out the reason..if you don’t have blood sugar and urine is like watery and profuse then gelsemium works great..if alcohol or some kind of medicines are the reason behind it then gelsemium works good..

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I have the urge incontinence/overactive bladder problem every night, and wake up every 2 hours or so, and of course it is too late to make it to the bathroom. I did have a very minor stroke a few years ago, and the bladder problem started about two months after that. I did try the Causticum, and a few other combination remedies but none worked. I do not get much sleep at night, and cannot take a nap during the day because of family demands, and also if I lay down during the day, or sit down more than an hour and a half the same urge incontinence problem happens. I did see a Urologist, and he claims I have urge incontinence, and prolapse. I believe in Homeopathic remedies, and have used them for various other issues with success. I really feel desperate, and I am very hopeful that you will be able to help me. I am quite active, and in fairly good shape.
Thank you so very much.

At night I have no problem and may not even feel the urge to urinate more than once, or may not even once. I also take allopathic medicines for high blood pressure and find these too have diuretic effect. I tried sabal pentarkan but then also there is high urination frequency and quantity wise. Please help me with the treatment. Many years back I had stone in my kidney which was removed through lithotripsy and then I took some homeopathic medicine and since then no problem. Otherwise I am quite active and in good shape and health. Please suggest me the medicine.
