Diabetes has quite an adverse effect on your bladder. You might have seen that a diabetic person drinks too much water or juice or other fluids etc., and also he goes to the toilet to pass urine every now and then. That is due to the reason that in the case of diabetes, our kidneys experience difficulty to filter or separate glucose from the blood and since they are working most of the time in this filtering process therefore the urine remains most of the time in the kidneys, ureters and the bladder and this results into the condition of osmotic dieresis. Osmotic dieresis is the increased urination due to the presence of certain substances in the urine that came out from the kidneys. The process of osmosis created by these substances causes the additional water to increase the volume of urine.
At the
initial stage of this condition, the patient with diabetes repeatedly passes
water at short intervals. His bladder wall muscles also change due to which
certain side effects can develop that make the bladder hyperactive due to
detrusor overactivity. In this situation, a diabetic person goes to the
bathroom very frequently and often wakes up in the middle of his sleep at night
to pass water which is contrary to his habitual routines in the past but now it
has changed. That is because of various reasons for example diabetes also
affects a patient’s nervous system. That is why you might have noticed that
some individuals suffering from diabetes complain that they are feeling
insensitivity or have a tingling sensation in the sole of their feet and
fingers. Anyhow this condition can lead to diabetic cystopathy in the long run
which is its bad effect on the bladder. Diabetic cystopathy is a chronic
complication of diabetes with symptoms like decreased bladder sensation, increased
bladder capacity, and impaired detrusor contractility.
It means that the bladder of a diabetic patient remains no more hyperactive. However, it becomes now troublesome for him to void his bladder. He starts urinating after some more time of stressing and straining and his urine stream is not continuous but stops in the middle and starts again repeatedly. After some time it will become quite difficult for him to fully empty his bladder. However, if he can control his blood sugar to a good level it may prove to be quite helpful to overcome this condition. If it becomes very difficult for you to void the bladder despite all frightfully troubling symptoms, you can likewise get an intermittent infection of the bladder or urinary tract. The reason this happens is that perhaps your diabetes is very much above normal; the urine in your bladder has abnormally high sugar which becomes nourishment for microorganisms or bacteria and it gives them a more ideal environment to remain there; you cannot void your bladder completely; your bladder has shortened in the inside and your bladder muscles have been damaged because of neuropathy encountered by your bladder.

ensuring a controlled sugar in your blood can assist to keep a healthy bladder.

difficulty in fully voiding the bladder kindly consult a specialist doctor

As
a marginal comment for male patients of diabetes please note that it can be a
reason for bad erectile functions. Men at a very young age can have erection
problems due to prolonged or chronic diabetes. Although erection problems have
many remedies available yet it’s a big issue in the level of comfort living for
some men with diabetes mellitus. It is one more indication for you to ensure
assume responsibility to manage a good level of your blood sugar. Also please
