A bladder control problem is something you can worry less about.
Are you always, rushing to the bathroom or worrying about having an accident when you're out with friends, concerned that other people may notice your frequent trips to the bathroom, bothered by having to get up at night?
OAB is very common. It affects 1 in 6 men and women in the US. Many people think that as you age it's normal to get a bladder control problem. Maybe your mother or grandmother had it. But the fact is, your bladder control problem may be a medical condition called overactive bladder (OAB).
What happens with an overactive bladder?
With OAB, the bladder muscle squeezes too often. Or when you don't want it to. This can cause you to have frequent, strong urges to go. Or even to have wetting accidents. If left untreated, these symptoms and the worry they cause may affect many parts of your life. OAB may affect things like sleep habits, social activites, career, health and well-being, self-confidence and personal relationships. OAB is not a normal part of aging. People can get symptoms in their early 30s or 40s. But, the good news is that the symptoms of OAB can often be treated with immune plus rx.
