Losing bladder and bowel control

Posted By Mdp274 (Florida) on 12/09/2014

83 y/o Female in great shape, otherwise... I'm taking oxybutamine [?sp] for 'leaky bladder' Twice/day but fearful of side effects. leakage bad esp @ nite!!! AND I often can't make it to the bathrm in time for fecal evacuation! Might TAURINE be helpful in my gaining better 'control'? I know both cardiac/ bladder/intestinal wall are 'smooth muscles'. Any OTHER suggestions????? Thanxx in advance

According for old Arabic medicine the healing of Enuresis and leakage is to take Galanga Root.

In addition to Mmsg's excellent suggestion, you could try red raspberry leaf tea. Several cups a day. It does help to tone and strengthen.

Also, if by any chance you take ibuprofen, it can cause weakening of the bladder. I try to avoid this but notice an effect even with a dose or two.
