What is a bladder problem?  This is when you have sudden urge to go to the bathroom and you are leaking urine and having frequent urination urges.  These are all forms of what is known as a urinary incontinence.  What this means is that you have a lack of bladder control.  There are many things that can cause this.  However, the most common cause is a gradual weakening of the pelvic nerves.  There are a couple of different kinds of incontinence.

Stress incontinence is when there is a weakening of the pelvic floor, which will result in pressure (or stress) on a bladder that was fully functional before.  You can be laughing, sneezing, coughing and the next thing you know your underwear is wet.  This happens with greater regularity in women after menopause.

Urge incontinence or overactive bladder also known as OAB is a sudden, uncontrollable need to go to the bathroom.  It doesn't matter how long ago it was that you last went.  It could have been just 15 minutes ago.  It is caused by the uncontrolled contractions of the bladder muscle also known as the detrusor.  This occurs when the communication between the bladder and the brain is not right.  This type of bladder problem happens because of inflammation of the bladder lining, infection, and injury, natural atrophy (this happens as you get older) and other reasons.

Sometimes you can have a combination of the two above bladder problem types, which is then considered to be a mixed incontinence.

Overflow incontinence is when you can't get rid of all of the urine that is in your bladder due to a muscle tone that is weak or there is some type of blockage.  The symptoms for this can include dribbling, urgency, hesitancy, straining, a weak urine stream or low urine production even though you feel like your bladder is full.  This problem is more common in men but it can happen in women.

The first step you will need to take when you have some type of bladder problem is to seek the advice of your physician.  If your problem stems from a bladder infection then he will prescribe an antibiotic.  Bladder infections will rarely go away on its own and can lead to more serious problems with the urethra, bladder, and the kidneys.  Your physician will also need to rule out any more serious problems prior to starting any type of home remedy.
