What is Irritable Bladder

Irritable bladder is a condition that is typified by the sudden, irresistible urge to urinate. This can occur in the most undesirable of situations and can be quite embarrassing for the sufferer. There is very little pain associated with irritable bladder, but there can be considerable discomfort. The particular syndrome can affect both men and women alike, and may be brought on by stress. Often confused with a mild bladder infection, irritable bladder can be hard to diagnose. Once diagnosed, it can be treated with a number of medications, most of which may cause dry mouth or constipation.

What are the symptoms of Irritable Bladder

Symptoms of Irritable Bladder often include a sudden and urgent need to urinate, called urinary urgency, frequent urination, abdominal distention and discomfort and the involuntary loss of urine, especially when one sneezes or coughs. Because Irritable Bladder can be confused with a mild bladder infection, there are certain exams doctors must implement to diagnose the condition. For instance, your doctor may perform a urinalysis, or obtain a urine culture, to rule out a urinary tract infection. Further tests may include the "Q-tip test," a diagnostic procedure that measures the change in the angle of the urethra at rest and when straining. If the angle of change is greater than 30 degrees, this will indicate a weakness of the muscles that support the bladder, which is common with irritable bladder.

What causes Irritable Bladder

There are various causes of Irritable Bladder, such as food sensitivities, bladder stones, stress, and nervous tensions. In women, a prolapsed uterus can irritate the bladder, especially if the pelvic muscles have become weak. Tissue infections in the region of the bladder can also cause irritation. Men over the age of fifty often develop irritable bladder with an enlarged prostate. In some instances, an underlying cause cannot be found for the disorder. To really ascertain what is behind your irritable bladder, it may be best to consult with an urologist. Urologists specialize in diseases of the urinary tract and may be able to ascertain the source, be it physical or psychological, of your irritable bladder symptoms.
