Healthy Tips
Conquer that overactive bladder
By Gynecology Specialists Staff
If you suffer from a frequent need to urinate, strong sudden urges to urinate and/or urinary leakage as a result of urgency, we can help you.
These symptoms are often associated with a condition called Overactive Bladder (OAB) with or without urge incontinence. With Overactive Bladder, the nerves that supply sensation to the bladder and surrounding muscles do not always communicate effectively with the brain. Patients will experience bladder spasms which cause sudden sensations associated with the need to urinate. These spasms can occur multiple times daily or even hourly.
Multiple treatment options for OAB and urge incontinence are available to our patients in the form of medication, physical therapy, APEX M, Botox, Thermiva and Urgent PC.
Don’t suffer
OAB and urge incontinence can have a great effect on a woman’s life. Some women report severe fatigue as a result of frequent nighttime urination. Others limit their fluid intake to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom. In severe cases, women are afraid to leave their house for fear of leaking urine, or will have to wear pads or diapers to avoid accidents.
