Your Bladder
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. If
you look at the pictures above, you can see there is a lot of
“equipment” in a small space. Also, 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.
 If constipation is an issue for you, we suggest trying the Bowtrol Colon Cleanse Formula.
Bowtrol is an all natural herbal colon cleansing treatment that has
changed hundreds of thousands of people's lives through our gentle and
effective whole body safe and effective internal cleansing.
Exercise
Try to get at least 20 to 30 minutes of exercise every day. It doesn’t
have to be strenuous, just make sure you’re moving. A brisk walk is
ideal. This will tone your whole body and improve your outlook on life.
You’ll breathe deeper and get good fresh air into your lungs. Exercise
will help promote peristaltic action (movement of material through your
intestines) in order to decrease occasional constipation. Exercise will
also reduce stress, which contributes to constipation. You’ll find you
sleep better, too.
Empty your bladder completely
In these days of hustle and bustle, being in a hurry, rushing to “get
more done,” people often don’t empty their bladder completely when they
go. Take a few extra minutes to relax physically. Wait a minute after
voiding, then, try again to see if there is a little bit more. Often
times there will be, and you’ll have a longer interval between trips.
How to encourage peaceful sleep
Here are some tips to help you get a good night’s sleep. When you don’t
sleep well, you simply don’t feel your best. You need to relax
physically and mentally.
- Go to the bathroom immediately before going to sleep, even if you don’t
feel you need to. Make this a part of your nighttime ritual of changing
your clothes, washing your face, brushing your teeth and taking care of
your hair. Your bladder will learn that’s the right time to go.
- Wear socks to bed. Feet have poor circulation, so they get cold first.
This means you will sleep lighter when your feet are cold. Then, you’ll
become more aware of pressure in your bladder. Sometimes, you can
safely ignore it, if your quality of sleep is deep enough.
- Avoid snacks before bed, especially grains and sugars. These foods
raise your blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Then, you have to go to the
bathroom again.
- No TV right before
sleep. TV stimulates your brain, and it will take longer to fall
asleep. After you’re asleep, your brain will continue processing the TV
images, which can lead to disturbing dreams and light sleep. Then you
have to go to the bathroom again.
- Sleep
in complete darkness if possible. If you have to go to the bathroom,
avoid turning on the light. Your body reacts to light by ceasing
production of melatonin and serotonin. These two hormones are sleep
aids, and you will feel “awake,” without them. Then, you’ll have to go
to the bathroom again.
- Go to bed at the
same time every night. Your body will get into a sleep cycle and make
it easier to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep, so you don’t have to
go the bathroom so often.
- Take Flotrol
to support and maintain your bladder health. As you improve your
overall bladder health, you’ll find Flotrol a rewarding support for
your self-help activities.

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
