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.
