What is an Overactive Bladder?
An overactive bladder refers to a condition where there is a frequent, sudden and unstoppable urge to urinate. This urge to urinate may occur only during the day or during the night; or both. The urinary bladder is a sac-like muscular organ. It stores urine produced by the kidneys until it passes out of the body through the urethra. When the urinary bladder fills up completely, there is an exchange of a series of nerve signals between the urinary bladder, the brain, and the pelvic floor. The coordination between these nerve signals makes the detrusor muscle of the bladder contract, the pelvic floor and the external sphincter of the bladder relax, and helps the urine to drain out. In the case of an overactive bladder, the bladder muscles contract involuntarily and make the person feel the need to pass urine even when the bladder is only slightly filled. The problem with an overactive bladder can be treated very effectively with homeopathy. The homeopathic treatment for an overactive bladder helps by curing the cause of the problem. The selection of medicines for an overactive bladder should be made based on a complete symptom picture of the individual case. This treatment is completely safe and works wonderfully to give symptomatic relief to the patient.
What are the Causes of an Overactive Bladder?
The exact cause for an overactive bladder is not known. However, the chances of getting an overactive bladder increase with age. Other risk factors include obesity, menopause, an enlarged prostate gland, and poorly controlled diabetes. Intake of alcohol and caffeine may worsen the symptoms of an overactive bladder. Some of the other conditions and factors contributing to the symptoms of an overactive bladder are an increase in fluid intake, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and medicines that increase urinary output.
Symptoms of an Overactive Bladder
The primary symptom of an overactive bladder is a sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate. Other symptoms include a frequent desire to urinate and an involuntary passage of urine, also known as urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence in cases of an overactive bladder is mainly urge incontinence; which means the involuntary passage of urine that occurs when a person does not promptly attend to the sudden, strong urge to urinate.
Homeopathic Treatment for an Overactive Bladder
Some of the top medicines for the homeopathic treatment for an overactive bladder are Kreosotum, Lycopodium Clavatum, Merc Sol, Causticum, Phosphoric Acid, Equisetum Hyemale, and Sepia Succus. A patient should avoid self-medication and consult a physician for the homeopathic treatment for an overactive bladder.
1. Kreosotum – Homeopathic Medicine for an Overactive Bladder with a Sudden Urge to Urinate
Kreosotum is an effective homeopathic medicine for an overactive bladder with a sudden urge to urinate. In such cases, the patient needs to hurry to urinate whenever the urge arises. The frequency of urination is also high. Usually, urine is also highly offensive. Kreosotum is also used in cases where there is involuntary urination on lying down or on coughing.
2. Lycopodium Clavatum – Homeopathic Medicine for an Overactive Bladder with Frequent Urination at Night
Lycopodium Clavatum is an effective homeopathic medicine for an overactive bladder in cases of frequent urination at night. The quantity of urine in such cases is also very high. There is a feeling of bearing down on the bladder region along with the need to wake up at night because of the urge to urinate. Stitching pain in the bladder is also present in some cases. Lycopodium Clavatum is also helpful in cases of an overactive bladder in males suffering from prostate enlargement.
3. Merc Sol – Homeopathic Medicine for an Overactive Bladder with Frequent Urination During the Day and Night
Merc Sol is an excellent homeopathic medicine for an overactive bladder in cases where there is frequent urination during the day and at night. Every time the urge to urinate arises, the person has to hurry. Any delay causes the urine to leak involuntarily. The urine flow may be scanty or profuse. In some cases, there is a feeling of soreness in the bladder.
4. Causticum – Homeopathic Medicine for an Overactive Bladder with Involuntary Passage of Urine or Urinary Incontinence
Causticum is a beneficial homeopathic medicine for an overactive bladder in cases where there is an involuntary flow of urine. This symptom can cause a lot of problems when it occurs at night or if the patient is walking. Causticum also helps in strengthening the bladder sphincter and in controlling urinary incontinence.
5. Phosphoric Acid and Equisetum Hyemale – Homeopathic Medicine for an Overactive Bladder with Frequent and Profuse Urination
Phosphoric Acid and Equisetum Hyemale are good homeopathic medicines for an overactive bladder in cases of frequent and large quantities of urination. Phosphoric Acid is helpful when a person passes large amounts of clear, watery urine, mostly at night. Weakness may also occur. Equisetum Hyemale is useful when there is a constant feeling of fullness in the urinary bladder. The person passes a large quantity of urine very often, but the fullness is not relieved. Sometimes urine is passed involuntarily both in the day and at night.
6. Sepia Succus – Homeopathic Medicine for an Overactive Bladder in Females
Sepia Succus is a good homeopathic treatment for an overactive bladder in women. It is useful when a female has a sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate. There is a constant bearing down sensation above the pubis. In most cases, the urine is foul smelling and may contain sediments.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I was wondering what remedy might help these symptoms: I have to urinate frequently between about 4 am to 6:30 am. Sometimes it is a small amount and sometimes it is a lot of urine. I find that after I have urinated I often feel like more is coming so I wait and a minute or two later I do urinate again. I will go back to bed and then I will have to get up again maybe 30 minutes or an hour later to go again. I have been doing this pattern for many years. No distinct odor. On occasion I feel a slight burning afterwards but not while urinating. It feels more like it is on the outside of the area not internally. I am female, 55 and going through menopause. I do drink a lot of water to keep my body hydrated. I am not sure if this is helpful to know but as a child I wet the bed because I didn’t wake up in time to use the bathroom. I was about 5 and eventually out grew the problem. I hope this helps give you something to work with. Thank you for your help!
Hello, I am a 70 year old male and in reasonably good health with high blood pressure. Other than the blood pressure I have no other health issues except the bladder. I have an overactive bladder where I need to urinate about two hours during sleep. Also when I get up the second or third time I have an anxiety feeling where I cannot go back to sleep. My blood and urine tests are always within the normal range (PSA, sugar, cholesterol, etc.) I was very active going to the gym almost daily until the pandemic. I eat most chicken and fish and use lots of supplements which include the following: Spirulina, chlorella, lions mane and reishi mushroom, red beet juice powder, wheatgrass powder, organic whole food vitamin C, raw milk, probiotics, cinnamon powder, black seed oil, virgin cod liver oil, raw honey, 3 mg melatonin, turmeric capsules, chia seeds, flax seed. and an organic whole food calcium supplement. I would like to try an homeopathic formula for my overactive bladder and sleep problem.
Thank you.

Dr.Sharma,
I am an 68 year old male having frequent urination problem since about 3yrs now. About two years ago ultrasound test had revealed that i am not emptying the bladder fully and that there is some 30% retention.I don’t have any pain while passing urine. Sometimes when i am out, the urge for frequent urination does not persist at all but when i come to know that i am reaching home a strong and tearing uncontrollable urge to rush to the toilet develops. Every time there is urge i do pass adequate quantity of urine and its appearance is normal without any unusual color or smell.This has not affected my sleep so far in that i do not get-up frequently to pass urine.Generally the frequency and uncontrollable urge have now become concerning.
Seek your advise on what Homeopathic medicine is suitable for treating this condition.
Regards
