Diabetes bladder problems are fairly common. Many of these diabetes bladder problems are bound to come with age anyway, but having diabetes can mean an early onset or increased severity of these problems. Keeping blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels on target can lower the risk of complications.

People with diabetes bladder problems should drink lots of fluids and go to the bathroom every two hours. Drugs that have been known to help are Betanechol, Terazosin, and doxazosin. In rare cases, some people are taught to catheterize themselves when they need to urinate.

 

Diabetes Bladder Problems

 

The most typical diabetes bladder problems are overactive bladder, urinary tract infections, and neurogenic bladder, which are bladder problems that are associated with nerve damage. Common symptoms of bladder problems associated with diabetes are a feeling of urgency to urinate, urinating frequently, and urine leakage. Some people have difficulty urinating or cannot completely empty their bladder. These are symptoms of neurogenic bladder problems.

Another frequent diabetes problem is a connection between diabetes and bladder cancer. There has been evidence to show that the diabetic drug Actos(pioglitazone) has caused bladder cancer in some patients. In fact, between 2004 and 2009, more than half a million negative reaction occurred among people who were taking anti-diabetic drugs more than 138 of these were instances of bladder cancer. A fifth of them were taking Actos.

 

Diabetes Bladder Infection

 

Urinary tract infections can occur anywhere in the urinary tract. This is caused by digestive system (or other) bacteria reaching the urinary tract. If left untreated, complications such as kidney infections may occur. Signs of diabetes bladder infections include:

  • Frequent urges to urinate
  • Pain or burning in the bladder during urination
  • Cloudy or reddish urine
  • Fatigue or shakiness
  • Pressure above the pubic bone (women)
  • Feeling of fullness in the rectum (men)

 

Gall Bladder Diabetes

 

Diabetes gall bladder problems are also fairly typical. It is important to know the symptoms of gallbladder attacks. Sudden pain in the right upper abdomen, pain between the shoulder blades, and unexplained nausea or vomiting are a few. Another symptom is pain which is centered on the right side of your abdominal area, which gets worse after you eat. Most people can avoid gallstones, gallbladder surgery, and other related problems by keeping a balanced diet, exercising daily, and managing their overall health.
