Overactive Bladder Explained: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment | Urocat Urology

Описание: This video explains what overactive bladder (OAB) is a common but treatable condition that affects both men and women, especially after the age of 40.

If you experience a sudden, hard-to-control urge to urinate, frequent trips to the bathroom, or urine leakage before reaching the toilet, you may have OAB. Although it’s common, it’s not a normal part of aging, and effective treatments are available.

OAB occurs when the bladder muscles contract too early, causing the need to urinate even when the bladder isn’t full. Triggers can include stress, diet, or even sounds like running water. Diagnosis involves simple tests such as urine analysis, bladder scans, or flow studies, and treatment can include pelvic floor exercises, medication, bladder training, or nerve stimulation therapies.
