If you were my patient at the pharmacy, this is what I would tell you … about what over 50% of women will never discuss with their doctor? Overactive bladder ( OAB) is defined by 8 or more trips to the bathroom to urinate daily and two or more times per night ( Nocturia). Pelvic focused exercises ( including kegels and pelvic floor physical therapy) and avoiding certain foods are helpful (foods such as acidic foods, spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol and many bladder resources)! Check out Prelief to help reduce acid in foods. ✨Symptoms can be caused by a decrease in estrogen in menopause and perimenopause. Ask your doctor if Vaginal Estrogen is right for you. Here are supplements to try that can be helpful as well: ⭐️Supplements to strengthen the pelvic floor which can improve OAB symptoms: ✨Vitamin D - many women with a weak pelvic floor are found to be deficient in Vitamin D ✨Collagen- collagen can not only improve skin, nails, bones and more but can help to strengthen the pelvic floor too! Biosil helps your body create collagen and grass fed beef protein is naturally high in collagen. ✨Raspberry Leaf Tea- can be helpful in toning the pelvic floor ⭐️ A supplement for overactive bladder: ✨Pumpkin Seed esxtract is often included in many supplements for overactive bladder. This post is informational only and not medical advice. Please contact a medical professional before starting any supplement or if you are looking for resources for OAB. Be sure to pass this along to someone who may want to see this too!
