How to stop bladder spasms naturally
Urinary incontinence and bladder spasms involve any involuntary squeezing of the bladder muscles which causes leakage of urine. The leakage could be in small or large amounts. It causes embarrassment to the patient and is also uncomfortable and painful.
There are many medications for urinary incontinence but there are also many things you can do to help yourself.

Causes of bladder spams

Bladder spasms are a common health issue when you age older.
  • Certain medications, such as bethanechol (Urecholine) and furosemide (Lasix)
  • Diabetes
  • enlarged prostate
  • Impaired kidney function
  • Bladder stones
  • Parkinson’s disease

What you eat or drink can occasionally irritate a fragile bladder and cause it to become a spasm. This is especially true in patients who have a condition called interstitial cystitis.

Spicy, acidic, or citrusy foods and also the chemicals in certain preservatives and food additives may irritate the lining of the bladder in certain individuals. Such products may include:

  • Chocolate
  • Tomatoes
  • Citrus fruits
  • Caffeinated drinks
  • Pickles
  • Alcohol

When to consult a doctor.

Consult the doctor if you have :

  • Leakage of urine
  • Blood in your urine
  • Pain while urinating
  • Pain in the lower abdominal area

Here are the best home remedies and self-care tips for treating urinary incontinence and bladder spasm.

Certain lifestyle changes can help with bladder difficulties, such as changing your fluid intake and diet. To see whether your spasms are connected with certain foods, then consider keeping a food diary. This can enable you to track any foods that may be causing bladder spasms.

1 Bladder Training

The aim here is to put off the impulse to rush off to the closest toilet. During the early stages, attempt to put off urination by just ten mins and slowly build that up to twenty mins. After some time you should be able to comfortably wait four hours when the need to use the bathroom arises.

2 Water

Drink plenty of water. Water helps in flushing out the bacteria and other toxins from the bladder, kidneys, and urinary tract.

3 Magnesium

Magnesium is a great incontinence remedy as it will help to lessen bladder spasms and also it helps to allow your bladder to empty. Try to eat foods containing magnesium, like bananas, potatoes, and corn. Baking Soda: Adding a teaspoon of baking soda with the water you drink helps in destroying the bacteria that cause infection.

4 Cranberry Juice:

Cranberry juice is good for all patients suffering from urinary incontinence, especially in pregnant women. This remedy is good for all internal organs, especially the liver and bladder. Corn Silk: Corn silk tea gives great relief from the symptoms of bladder spasm.

5 Clean Well

Women should urinate and clean well after intercourse to avoid microbes from entering the body. Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of this home remedy.
