Overactive Bladder Symptoms & Treatment | Dr. Bikram Haldar

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common issue, especially among older adults, characterized by frequent urination or the inability to control urination. Dr. Bikram Haldar, Consultant-Urologist at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Jessore Road, Kolkata, discusses how lifestyle modifications can help manage overactive bladder symptoms and improve quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Overactive Bladder:
Sudden and urgent need to urinate
Frequent urination (more than 8 times a day)
Inability to hold urine (urinary incontinence)
Waking up frequently at night to urinate
Lifestyle Tips to Manage Overactive Bladder:
Hydration: Maintain a balanced intake of water (2.5 to 3 litres a day). Avoid excessive water intake, which could worsen symptoms.
Weight Management: Engaging in daily physical activities to manage obesity can reduce pressure on the bladder and help control symptoms.
Smoking Cessation: Smoking can irritate the bladder, leading to frequent urination. Quitting smoking is highly recommended.
Pelvic Floor Exercises: Daily pelvic floor exercises strengthen the muscles around the bladder, providing better control over urination.
Dietary Adjustments: Limiting caffeine and alcohol intake can alleviate the symptoms of overactive bladder.
These simple but effective lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder, helping you regain control over your urinary health.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to consult a urologist. Overactive bladder is treatable with proper diagnosis and care.
