Overactive Bladder

Overactive Bladder (OAB) affects 12% of people and can impact significantly on quality of life.

Do you feel like you run to the toilet too often during the day?
Do you have to get up a lot at night time to pee?
When you feel the urge to pee do you have to get to the toilet straight away?
If you don’t make it to the toilet in time do you ever accidentally leak urine?
Do you know where all the public toilets are when you go into town?

If the answer is ‘yes’, you might have overactive bladder syndrome (OAB)

Women often have to make adjustments to their lifestyle to cope with their overactive bladder problem, such as avoiding social occasions with friends and family for fear of leaking urine.

The good news is that these problems can often be completely cured.

What treatments are available?

Often simple lifestyle modifications such as cutting down on tea & coffee and reducing fluid intake in the evening can have a beneficial impact on an overactive bladder. These simple adjustments can sometimes make a big difference.

Should these exercise not produce the desired result the next step is usually bladder re-training and pelvic floor exercises.

Medication

Tablets for overactive bladder can be effective for some women. Side-effects include dry mouth and constipation, and some tablets can cause problems with high blood pressure.

Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum toxin bladder injections can be a very effective treatment, often leading to significant improvement in quality of life, although carry a 15% risk of causing problems with bladder emptying.
