Are suffering from sudden and uncontrolled need or urge to go urinate, making you vulnerable to leaking urine when you feel the urge to pee? Do you experience frequent urination during the day and or night? If your answer to these conditions is yes, then these are symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB), a group of urinary symptoms as it is not a disease.

How is overactive bladder treated?
Dr Onyango Oluoch – Urologist, offers a number of treatment options to manage overactive bladder, including Bladder Reconstruction or Urinary Diversion Surgery, this type of surgery is used in very rare and serious cases. There are two types of bladder surgeries, namely augmentation cystoplasty, where the bladder is enlarged and urinary diversion surgery, where the urine is rerouted.

Nerve stimulation also called neuromodulation therapy; is also another treatment solution for people who need extra help. This treatment involves sending electrical pulses to the nerves which share the same path for the bladder so that the bladder can be able to function properly.

Symptoms of Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder symptoms include the need or urge to urinate that is difficult to control, the involuntary leak of urine immediately followed by the urgent need to urinate, frequent urinating and awakening two or more times in the night to urinate.

Overactive Bladder can be problematic
Overactive bladder may get in the way of your work, social life, school life, and exercise and sleep as you will always have the need or urge to urinate. Left untreated, overactive bladder symptoms may make it difficult to get through the day without making many trips to the bathroom.
