Taking Back Control: Managing Overactive Bladder in Women at Meerut Urologist

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common urological condition affecting millions of women, characterized by a sudden and strong urge to urinate, with or without involuntary urine leakage (urge incontinence). While not life-threatening, OAB can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life. Here at Meerut Urologist, led by our experienced urologist Dr. Shaleen Sharma and Dr. Sarat Chandra Garg, we understand the challenges of OAB and offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment options specifically tailored to women's needs.

Symptoms of Overactive Bladder in Women:

The hallmark symptom of OAB is a sudden, strong urge to urinate that's difficult to ignore. You may or may not experience leakage with this urge. Other common symptoms include:

• Frequent urination (urinating eight or more times a day)
• Waking up at night to urinate (nocturia)
• Difficulty holding urine (urgency)

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common urologic condition affecting many women. It causes a sudden, strong urge to urinate frequently, even when the bladder isn't full. This can lead to leakage (incontinence) and disrupt daily activities. Treatment options for OAB in women include behavioral changes, pelvic floor muscle exercises, medications, and sometimes surgery.

Causes of Overactive Bladder in Women:

Several factors can contribute to OAB in women, including:

• Weakening of pelvic floor muscles: Childbirth, vaginal delivery, and aging can weaken the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and urethra.
• Neurological conditions: Conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury can affect nerves controlling the bladder.
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs): UTIs can irritate the bladder and trigger OAB symptoms.

• Interstitial cystitis (IC): A chronic bladder condition that can cause bladder pain and OAB symptoms.
• Certain medications: Some medications, like diuretics, can increase urine production and contribute to OAB.

Treatment Options for Overactive Bladder in Women at Meerut Urologist:

There is no single cure for OAB, but our team at Meerut Urologist will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the severity of your symptoms and any underlying causes. Here are some common treatment approaches we offer:

• Pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegels): Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can significantly improve bladder control. Our physiotherapists can guide you on proper Kegel exercises.
• Lifestyle modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight, managing fluid intake, and avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine and alcohol can help.

• Bladder retraining: Techniques to help regain bladder control, including scheduled urination and urgency suppression techniques.
• Medications: Medications can help relax the bladder muscles, reduce urine production, or treat underlying conditions like UTIs.
• Neuromodulation: In some cases, minimally invasive neuromodulation therapy using electrical stimulation can help regulate bladder function.
• Botox injections: OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections into the bladder muscle can relax bladder contractions and improve symptoms in some women.
