Accepted Answer

Urgency & discomfort: A bladder spasm is an uncoordinated contraction of the bladder. When it occurs in patients with normal bladder sensation, it causes a strong urge to urinate, sometimes accompanied by pain. In men this pain is sometimes referred to the tip of the penis.  Incontinence can occur with each bladder spasm as the contraction forces urine to be expelled.

Question 5

can some foods cause bladder spasms? or so e foods make it worse or better?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: There are many foods that can irritate the bladder, making bladder spasms worse.The key foods to avoid: caffeine in coffee, tea and sodas;  alcohol; citrus and pineapple; spicy foods; chocolate; raw onions; vinegar and soy sauce; artificial sweeteners; and yes, even cranberry juice. Drink lots of water to keep your urine dilute, and add the foods back one at a time to see which ones cause spasms.

Question 6

is it possible for bladder spasms to just occur with no known origin and foods not trigger it?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Bladder spasms do have a cause, but it can often be difficult to identify. Avoiding foods on the "interstitial cystitis" list certainly can help some, but bladder muscle overactivity can have complicated neural, muscular, and inflammatory causes. Work closely with a female or neuro-urologist to continue to look for causes & to find ways to improve your symptoms. Much luck to you.

One option: Is the possibility is botulinum toxin injections into the bladder. Find a urologist or an interventional physiatrist to discuss this as an option. We regularly did this for patients with spinal cord injuries and strokes.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Toviaz (fesoterodine): Yes.  Toviaz (fesoterodine) is intended for over active bladder.  If you are truly having "spasms"  and have not recently had a urologic procedure, you may need an evaluation by a urologist.

Question 10

i had a turp 5weeks ago and still am getting bladder spasms all day long is there something that help?  thank you

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Did you have irritating voiding symptoms before TURP? Remember TURP is chiefly to improve urine flow and bladder emptying if your bladder is still working well, but would not necessarily improve irritating voiding. For its care, try bladder soothing agents, avoid bladder-irritating foods/beverage, make sure of no UTI, etc. After these, you may have to wait &amp; see as long as slowly getting better...
