Urgent need to pee (Overactive Bladder) in elderly men was decreased by 200,000 IU Vitamin D injection – May 2018

Vitamin D levels after injection peaked at 25 ng (need at least 30 ng to fight a health problem)

The improvement in the total OABSS (Oeveractive Bladder Symtom Score) after vitamin D replacement was significantly associated with a lower pre-treatment total OABSS (r=-0.744, p<0.001

Overactive Bladder in Winter*

Vitamin D
None 18.6 ng
Mild17.9 ng
Severe14.7 ng

* Significant association only existed in winter


Injection is typically not necessary – Oral supplementation of 200,000 IU or more Vitamin D within a week would probably work as well

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the impacts of serum vitamin D level on male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
From 2014 to 2017, 434 male patients with LUTS were included. The impacts of vitamin D on LUTS were evaluated using multivariate analysis to adjust for age, body mass index, prostate specific antigen, testosterone, Hemoglobin A1c, physical activity, and prostate volume. To exclude the effect of seasons, we also analyzed the impacts during each season.

RESULTS:
Vitamin D level was lowest in winter. According to the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), the severity of LUTS peaked in winter. There were no seasonal differences between prostate volume, peak flow rate, and post-void residual urine. For all patients, multivariate analysis showed that lower vitamin D was significantly associated with a higher total OABSS, whereas it was not associated with prostate volume, peak flow rate, post-void residual urine, and total I-PSS. In winter, lower vitamin D was significantly associated with a higher total OABSS based on multivariate analysis, whereas it was not during other seasons. In patients with vitamin D deficiency, the total OABSS significantly decreased after vitamin D replacement. The greatest improvement in total OABSS was associated with lower pre-treatment total OABSS and higher post-treatment vitamin D level.

CONCLUSIONS:
Vitamin D decrement in men with LUTS may play a role in aggravated overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, especially in winter. Increasing vitamin D in patients with vitamin D deficiency appears to alleviate OAB symptoms.
