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.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I was wondering what remedy might help these symptoms: I have to urinate frequently between about 4 am to 6:30 am. Sometimes it is a small amount and sometimes it is a lot of urine. I find that after I have urinated I often feel like more is coming so I wait and a minute or two later I do urinate again. I will go back to bed and then I will have to get up again maybe 30 minutes or an hour later to go again. I have been doing this pattern for many years. No distinct odor. On occasion I feel a slight burning afterwards but not while urinating. It feels more like it is on the outside of the area not internally. I am female, 55 and going through menopause. I do drink a lot of water to keep my body hydrated. I am not sure if this is helpful to know but as a child I wet the bed because I didn’t wake up in time to use the bathroom. I was about 5 and eventually out grew the problem. I hope this helps give you something to work with. Thank you for your help!
Hello, I am a 70 year old male and in reasonably good health with high blood pressure. Other than the blood pressure I have no other health issues except the bladder. I have an overactive bladder where I need to urinate about two hours during sleep. Also when I get up the second or third time I have an anxiety feeling where I cannot go back to sleep. My blood and urine tests are always within the normal range (PSA, sugar, cholesterol, etc.) I was very active going to the gym almost daily until the pandemic. I eat most chicken and fish and use lots of supplements which include the following: Spirulina, chlorella, lions mane and reishi mushroom, red beet juice powder, wheatgrass powder, organic whole food vitamin C, raw milk, probiotics, cinnamon powder, black seed oil, virgin cod liver oil, raw honey, 3 mg melatonin, turmeric capsules, chia seeds, flax seed. and an organic whole food calcium supplement. I would like to try an homeopathic formula for my overactive bladder and sleep problem.
Thank you.

Dr.Sharma,
I am an 68 year old male having frequent urination problem since about 3yrs now. About two years ago ultrasound test had revealed that i am not emptying the bladder fully and that there is some 30% retention.I don’t have any pain while passing urine. Sometimes when i am out, the urge for frequent urination does not persist at all but when i come to know that i am reaching home a strong and tearing uncontrollable urge to rush to the toilet develops. Every time there is urge i do pass adequate quantity of urine and its appearance is normal without any unusual color or smell.This has not affected my sleep so far in that i do not get-up frequently to pass urine.Generally the frequency and uncontrollable urge have now become concerning.
Seek your advise on what Homeopathic medicine is suitable for treating this condition.
