If you suffer from an overactive bladder, it would cause a sudden urge to urinate. This might lead to many embarrassing situations that would isolate yourself and affect your social and work life. Fortunately, there are many ways to manage and control the condition. With an initial diagnosis, your doctor would find out the underlying cause and suggest the right options for your cases. In this article, we’ll show you some diagnosis techniques and treatment options for an overactive bladder.
Overactive Bladder Diagnosis
Bladder Diary
In the first part of the diagnosis, your doctor tends to ask several questions about the current conditions and signs. To give accurate answers, you need to keep records in a bladder diary and bring it to the appointment. This will provide the doctor with the necessary details and information on your condition. It is simple to create your own bladder diary with the following information:
– What did you drink? When and how much?
– Records on your urination: How long does each time take? How many times do you urinate during the day? The time between each visit.
– The severity of urine leakage or urgency [1]
