Bladder training
Overactive bladder treatment aims to stretch the bladder in such a way that it gets used to holding more urine than it currently does. In this training, one needs the guidance of a doctor or a nurse wherein the time is recorded in between the toilet trips and the amount of urine one releases each time when he goes.
In the first two-three days of training, urination is done the usual way. After that, one tries to hold the urge to urinate for a longer period of time by sitting straight on a hard chair or by doing pelvic exercises. In this way, the bladder will be trained to hold more urine and one does not have to move to the bathroom often.
