Bladder problem

[udierose]

I know this may seem strange but i found it worked for me. I drank more water rather than less and It seemed to flush through and because I was trying not to go by exercising my pelvis floor I found I did not have so much of a problem. Could this be an answer, Have you heard of it before?

Hi there. As Dr Mansfield states, it's great you've managed to find a solution to your bladder issues.
You have highlighted an important point about hydration v's dehydration. A balance to maintain straw coloured urine is the goal. As a general rule we, as adults should consume around 2L per day of all types of fluid. There are specific calculations of the exact amount you should drink based on your height, weight and physical activity that you can discuss with your GP or practice nurse. The more dehydrated you are the more concentrated your urine is, this strong dark urine can irritate the bladder and make you want to pee more, (sounds unusual right?!) in contrast if you drink too much fluid, more than your body needs, then your kidneys just expel it as urine, the more you drink the more urine you make!
Thanks for sharing your story, all the best.
