Many adults experience an overactive bladder. Whether they are dealing with sudden urges to go, light or heavy leakage, urinary frequency or urinary obstruction, a specialist may be able to help relieve symptoms.
THE URGENT NEED TO GO
Those experiencing symptoms of OAB feel a strong urge to pass urine immediately.
URINARY
INCONTINENCE
Half of all people who experience OAB also deal with incontinence, which refers to leakage or inability to control bladder.
URINATING MORE THAN 8 TIMES PER DAY
If patients are visiting the bathroom more than 8 times per day, it may be time to speak to a bladder specialist.
URINATING MORE THAN ONCE AT NIGHT
If patients are waking up more than once at night to urinate, they may be experiencing OAB.
NON-OBSTRUCTIVE URINARY RETENTION
If patients are having trouble completely emptying their bladder when they urinate, a specialist may help.
Faecal incontinence
Faecal incontinence affects up to 20% of Australian men and up to 12.9% of Australian women.2
WHAT HAPPENS IF PATIENTS IGNORE THE SYMPTOMS OF OAB?
For non-diagnosed cases of OAB, symptoms may worsen. Some people report feeling embarrassed, experiencing loss of confidence, loss of intimacy, and a poor sense of well-being.
