Summary

Nutrition label

63% Informative

Overactive bladder affects 33% of females and 16% of males at some point in their lives.

OAB has many possible causes, including diseases like diabetes and MS that cause bladder nerve dysfunction.

Eating a healthier diet and changing habits that contribute to OAB can help control symptoms.

Pelvic floor exercises are performed several times daily on an ongoing basis (see Pelvic Floor Exercises below) With consistent practice, you may begin to see improvements within several months .

Bladder retraining is a behavioral therapy used to break this cycle.

It teaches you how to gradually hold your urine for longer and longer periods.

Kegel exercises help reduce the frequency and embarrassment of bladder leakage.

They may also reduce the severity of spasms by better supporting the bladder.

Kegels are not intended for people with pelvic pain or urinary urgency without leakage.

Specialist treatments may help when conservative treatments fall short.
