I began to experience bladder spasms while I was in the hospital. Not only did I experience pain, I noticed that the spasms caused urine to leak around the tube of the catheter. If you notice urine leaking around the tube of your catheter, it's very likely you've just experienced either a mild or painful bladder spasm.
What you eat or drink can cause bladder spasms, so here's a list of foods and drinks that may cause bladder spasms:
Spicy, acidic, or citrusy foods and the chemicals in certain preservatives and food additives may irritate the lining of the bladder. Such products include:
Alcohol
Artificial sweeteners
Caffeinated beverages such as soda, coffee, and tea
Chocolate
Citrus fruits and drinks, such as oranges and orange juice
Pickled foods
Tomatoes
You might avoid all of these items and still experience bladder spasms.
The good news is if this, your Urologist can prescribe medication that can that can stop these spasms. If this becomes an issue ask for medication.
