Healing a Stretched Bladder
- Quit drinking products with caffeine because caffeine stimulates the bladder and will make your urine urgency even worse. Continue drinking normal amounts of fluids, while avoiding caffeine and alcohol, because this will thin out the concentration of your urine. When urine is concentrated, it irritates the bladder muscle.
- Medications are available to treat this condition including antimuscarinics. These drugs work by blocking the nerve impulses to the bladder that cause the bladder to relax. Bladder capacity increases as a result of this medication.
- Do pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the muscles that wrap under the uterus, bladder and womb. Learn the Kegel exercises, where you isolate those muscles, squeeze and hold, recommends the Mayo Clinic. This should help eliminate problems that are resulting from your stretched bladder.
- If the problem can't be resolved, you may opt to undergo surgery. Sacral nerve stimulation can be achieved by inserting an implant into your bladder to help it contract normally and evenly, according to Patient.co.uk.com. In another operation called augmentation cystoplasty, a small piece of tissue from your intestine is added to the bladder wall to increase the size of the bladder.
- Urinary diversion is another technique that is used. The tubes from your kidneys, which are called ureters, are routed so that they lead directly to the outside of your body. This procedure is only used when everything else has failed.
