Over Active Bladder - Page 2

I did too. Went to my doctor and she said to cut down on my Diet Coke intake. Sure enough I'm not running to the bathroom at night or all during the day. I would imagine any caffeine would cause this. My girlfriend has an overactive bladder and she goes to a pelvic GYN. Not a regular GYN, but a pelvic one.

Get tinkle pads!!!!! Mine started when my DS was in an accident and I had a severe case of bronchitis,I needed pads because I wasn't able to quickly get to a restroom in the hospital. That was 8rs ago and stii wear them nightly, just in case. A laugh, a cough, standing up after squatting down can cause a tinkle.----tedEbear

There can be many reasons for what we may call overactive bladder. Sleep apnea makes you wake up several times a night having to pee. Is this symptom only at night? OAB is an 24 hour thing. Sleep apnea is only at night. Have you had a hysterectomy? Sometimes when a woman gets older her uterus can slip down and cause urgency and frequency of urination. UTI as already mentioned, though usually that is accompanied with pain on urination, and maybe fever. As also mentioned already - hot flashes - miserable as they are, can also cause this.

I agree with everyone else - you need to see your doctor.

@twocent Love your tagline or whatever it's called. My heart is there too.

Thank you , Kachina. So sorry we share this sorrow. She truly took my heart with her. This one came into my life as a rescue, during a tragedy I was going thru. I don't know which of us needed the other most , but oh what a bond we developed. I'll never get over this one. She was such a comfort and joy to me. I lost my Patchy the day after Thanksgiving, six years ago.

((((Hugs)))) to you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

You'll find my heart at the Rainbow Bridge.

It's never a good idea to be cheap when it comes to your health. Instead of looking for a "remedy", you need to find out what you REALLY have ..... get to a doctor and get an accurate diagnosis. This might not be "over active bladder" at all, but something more serious.

I too would encourage you to see a doctor for this.

What some might call an "overactive bladder," might not even be that at all, but could be totally related to some other medical condition.

How were diagnosed with OAB? I had this diagnosed in 2001. For me the time of day or nights made/ make no difference. My Urologist tried 2 different prescription meds, neither of which helped. Only thing they did was dry me out.

I had 2 different in depth procedures done on the same day, which took about 5 hours. Not the most pleasant of the many procedures I have had done. Showed my kidney function and bladder capacity along with how long it took me to completely empty my bladder along with projected amount of time to fill my bladder.

Wondering if both genders have same lengthy procedures for your OAB diagnosis. Did you have these same procedures done to get your OAB diagnosis?

I still have to seek out restrooms in unfamiliar places.

Yes John, it sounds like the tests are the same.

I have Interstitial Cystititis, and I had both a bladder scope, a kidney test with dye. Both no fun. It sounds like the same kinds of tests that you had done, too.

Maybe you have a bladder infection.....or a kidney problem.....or diabetes. You don't know what you have. You should see a doctor and leave the diagnosing to a professional.

Hi Toppers,

Thank you for your reply. The tests I had done were a Euro Dynamics Testing and also a Cystoscopy. The Euro Dynamics Test was the one that did most of the measuring of function both of bladder and kidneys.

Those tests took a lot of time there was a lot of "put 1 scope in/take it out/put one in/take it out". Thought that one was never going to end as the one doing the Diagnosis on the computer didn't even know because it depended on the measurements accuracy.

The Cystoscopy was a scope(you know where)where the Urologists could see what was going on with this organs. That test took about 30 minutes so wasn't near as bad as the other ones.

Again, thank you for your reply. I was hoping the OP would reply. Unless a person had some kind of testing such as this, I have no idea they would know 100% they have an Over-Active-Bladder. Just curious if they have some new procedures available now to be able to diagnose these problems.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours,
