Diet plays an important role in bladder health. The nutrition experts at VS Hospitals help patients design meal plans that reduce irritation and improve bladder control.
- Increase fiber intake: Whole grains, fruits, and vegetables prevent constipation, which can press on the bladder.
- Stay hydrated: Drink enough water throughout the day; dehydration can worsen irritation and urgency.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol: Both act as diuretics and increase urine production, leading to frequent urination.
- Avoid acidic foods: Tomatoes, citrus fruits, and spicy foods can irritate the bladder lining.
- Control sugar intake: Reduces the risk of urinary infections, especially in diabetic patients.
- Include magnesium-rich foods: Bananas, nuts, and leafy greens help relax bladder muscles.
