A normal bladder has a capacity of 400 to 500 milliliters. During normal urination, ring like bands of muscles known as sphincters relax or contract to either stop or start the flow of urine. During urination, the bladder walls contract or relax as well. It is important to keep these muscles toned and strong as we age for optimal urinary and bladder health.
The Flotrol Natural Bladder Control Formula can help strengthen these muscles while also having a unique calming effect on the bladder. It is a combination of soy germ extract and lipid-free pumpkin seed extract. Soy is considered to be beneficial for maintaining a healthy bladder. The use of pumpkin seed dates back to 16th century when it was used for urinary tract health.
In a clinical study, subjects were given a tablet that contained a combination of pumpkin seed and soybean germ extracts over a period of several weeks. Measurements were taken for frequency of urination during the day and night, any emergency episodes and the degree of satisfaction. Marked improvement in urinary tract health and quality of life was shown after the first week with further improvement after the second week and, compared with the pretrial observational period, continued to improve throughout week six.
Great Ways to Help Yourself form Flotrol Natural Bladder Control
There are many positive actions you can take to deal with your secret challenge. Some of these will apply to you, and perhaps others won’t. If you experience more than occasional urinary accidents, check with your doctor. Depending on whether you have a medical condition, there are many things they can do for you.
Some of their recommendations could include: Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles below the bladder, medications, devices inserted into your vagina or rectum, and even surgery. They can even give you implanted devices such as a plug in your urinary tract. Some doctors may suggest insertion of a permanent electrode and stimulator.
But, you can do a lot to help yourself and support a normal healthy bladder and promote proper urinary flow, retention, and bladder strength.
Understand your body and how it works
Study the two pictures of the urinary system. Your bladder is something like a balloon with two tubes coming down from it. Notice where the muscles are around this system. When these muscles become weak, you begin to lose bladder control. You’ll also see how small those tubes, called “urethra,” are. One or both can become blocked, and require the expertise of a doctor.
Kegel exercises
These are exercises, for both men and women, which help strengthen the muscles below the bladder that hold in urine. These exercises involve tightening, holding and then relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. During urination you are encouraged to start, stop, hold, and start again to tone up your muscle control. At first you may find this difficult to do, but don’t give up. These muscles will get stronger, and you will have greater control.
Water consumption
You might be trying to cut down on urinary frequency by drinking less water. This is not good for your health. Every person needs to drink one-half their body weight in ounces every day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink 75 ounces of water a day. If you weigh 110 pounds, you will need 55 ounces.
Iced tea, coffee and sodas don’t count. In fact, they make your problem worse!
Water is necessary for the proper function of cells, to carry nutrients in and toxins out. If you don’t drink enough water, your liver, then your kidneys, will become over-loaded with toxins. This can lead to infections. An easy test is to check the color or your urine. It should be colorless, or pale, pale yellow. The exception is, if you are taking a vitamin supplement containing B vitamins, your urine will be bright yellow. There should not be an unpleasant odor. If your urine smells bad you should see your doctor about a possible infection.
Limit coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks
These beverages have a diuretic effect on the body. They actually cause you to go to the bathroom more often. Anything with caffeine in it is diuretic. This includes decaffeinated coffee and sodas, because it’s impossible to remove all of the caffeine. Not only are the extra trips to the bathroom a nuisance, vital nutrients are being drained from your body. If you do consume these beverages, add an extra glass of water for each one. This will replace the water you’re losing.
Do not drink any beverages within two hours of bedtime. If you do, you will surely be up again in a few hours to go to the bathroom.
Beware of constipation
Constipation contributes to frequent urges to go to the bathroom. The bladder needs room to expand as it fills. When you’re constipated, your lower intestine is filled with material, which greatly reduces the space for the bladder. Consequently, the bladder will feel full sooner, and there you go, off to the bathroom again. If you experience chronic constipation, the bladder begins to feel frequent urination is normal, and it becomes a habit, even if you’re not constipated. Then, you’ll have re-train your bladder to get it back to more normal expansion. Usually, inadequate consumption of water contributes to constipation. Proper amounts of drinking water will help. Also, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables for fiber, minerals and vitamins. Getting daily exercise, and letting go of stress and tension also helps.
