Overactive Bladder and Vitamin D Defiency
Overactive bladder (OAB) is incredibly common occurring in about 15% of men and 30% of women. It becomes more common with age and more common in women
Not only may vitamin D have an impact on OAB in men, studies show it may play a role in many aspects of male reproductive health including male hypogonadism. Hypogonadism is a failure of the testes to function normally. Research suggests vitamin D status is positively associated with testosterone and gonadal function.
After treatment with 200,000IU of vitamin D, symptoms of those with Overactive Bladder reduced by 40% after 2 months. Researchers found Overactive bladder was significantly correlated with vitamin D deficiency and most prevalent in winter.
