BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE BLADDERS

The bladder is a significant part of the human anatomy that stretches and squeezes to hold urine in the body. The present study has explained the concept of the bladder and its key role in the human body. The bladder is also sensitive to some key problems that immediately create issues like overactive bladder and bladder cancer. The study has also discussed the issues in detail and presented their medical intervention. Further, the study has outlined a few frequently asked questions that are commonly used to describe the role and importance of the bladder in the body. 

What is the bladder? 

The bladder is a muscular and flexible organ that allows the body to urinate in a controlled and infrequent manner. The primary function of the bladder in the body is to store and let out urine from the body and maintains the process of excretion successfully. Located in the lower pelvis area of the human anatomy, Urines are carried by the uterus to the bladder and then the bladder acts according to its function to let out the urine from the body. The bladder has the capacity of holding 400-600mL urine while maintaining the process of urination in the body. 

What is the urinary bladder? 

The urinary bladder can be defined as the reservoir for urine in the human anatomy. It is posterior to the “symphysis pubis” and located in the “pelvic cavity” in the human body. It is commonly referred to as the muscular sac behind the pubic bone that temporarily stores urine in the body. The shape and size of a urinary bladder sometimes vary from person to person. Generally, it is found in a shape and size of a pear and is directly related to the amount of urine contained in it. 

What is the overactive bladder? 

The overactive bladder (OAB) is a dysfunction of the bladder that creates frequent urges to urinate and pressurizes individuals to humans to feel difficulty in controlling it. Under this circumstance, one may feel like they need to pass the urine as soon and frequently as possible. An overactive bladder creates issues regarding “unintentional loss of urine” and sometimes forces the body to create inconsistencies in urgency. The issues of an overactive bladder can create other issues like physical embarrassment and isolation of social life for individuals. Despite the issues, the problems regarding overactive bladder can be identified with necessary symptoms identification in the body. 

Key functions of the bladder in the human body

The key functions of the bladder in the human body are listed below. 

• Storing and releasing urine. 
• Contracting and flattening urine. 
• Expanding and relaxing according to the urge for urination. 
• Carrying the urine from the kidney through the urethra. 
• Removing the excess water from the blood and filtering it for the body. 

Common issues found in the bladder 

The bladder is exposed to a few common health problems like the overactivity of the bladder while storing and releasing urine in the body. The issues can be triggered by improper body hygiene, bowel inconsistency, and even inconsistencies while using toilets and end up in developing UTIs. Some of the key issues found in the bladder are listed below. 

• Incontinence of urination
• Overactive bladder
• Bladder cancer
• Interstitial cystitis
• Urinary retention
• A persistent urge for urination
• Cloudy and bloody urine
• Small urination within a short period
• Bladder lining defect 
• Urinary blockage and allergic reaction 

Medical intervention regarding bladder problems 

Using proper medication can reduce the pain regarding urinary issues and even can help individuals to control the urge of incontinence of urination. Some of the common medications used in resolving bladder issues are mentioned below. 

• Ditropan XL
• Solifenacin
• Fesoterodine 
• Trospium Chloride 
•  Myrebetriq or Mirabegron 
• Tolterodine 

Conclusion 

The bladder has a potentially stronger impact on the human anatomy with its diversified functions in the body. To conclude this study, it can be said that the bladder can shrinkage and become flexible according to the volume of urine in it. The capacity of the bladder also varies from person to person and overactivity of the bladder can cause potential urinary risks for the human body. Despite the fatality of bladder issues, with proper medications like tolterodine, fesoterodine, and Ditropan XL, the commonly identified issues of the bladder can be resolved successfully. Hence, the o\issues like bladder cancer, UTIs, overactive bladder can be controlled with proper medical intervention at the right time.
