Bladder and Prostate Disorders - Overview

Bladder and prostate disorders are common health issues that affect the urinary system. The bladder is responsible for storing urine while the prostate gland is involved in the production of semen. Disorders of the bladder can be caused due to urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis, etc. Prostate disorders can be caused due to prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, etc. Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the disorder and can range from urinary incontinence medications to surgery.

How To Determine A Prostate Problem?

If you are experiencing any of the following signs could indicate a potential issue with the prostate:

• Difficulty in passing urine
• Scanty urine or increased urination especially at night
• Urinary incontinence or unable to control urine
• Frequent urination
• burning sensation while urinating
• bloody urine
• painful ejaculation, erectile dysfunction

Various urine incontinence drugs are available that aim to reduce episodes of involuntary urine leakage and improve overall bladder function. If you are experiencing bladder control issues, do consult your doctor and explore suitable options, including urine control medicine, to effectively manage your condition.

Usage Of Medicine for Bladder Control

Specialists may recommend specific medications to treat urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, and other bladder-related conditions. Bladder tablets are commonly prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to address bladder control problems and minimise instances of urinary incontinence. The drugs work by relaxing the bladder muscles, reducing bladder spasms, and increasing bladder capacity and help improve the quality of your life.
