Having an overactive bladder (OAB) can be a big distraction, or even an impediment to your quality of life. OAB is defined as an increased urinary urgency, or a sudden and powerful need to urinate. Another OAB symptom is known as ‘urge incontinence’, where undesired urine leakage occurs throughout the day. Before an accident occurs, the person might have an urge sensation but not be capable of getting to a toilet before urine leakage occurs. Frequent urination is another known OAB issue, defined as urinating at least nine times each day.

Vulnerability & Susceptibility
OAB can be a source of irritation and inconvenience at the least, not to mention an embarrassment, but also a serious medical problem at the worst. Men and women of all ages can be affected, although this medical condition is most common among the elderly. Elderly people are also very susceptible to what is known as ‘nocturia’, the need to get out of bed more than twice a night to urinate. This can have serious effects on many areas of life, as getting a good night sleep is essential to being able to function happily throughout the entire day, particularly for elderly individuals.
Medical Acceptance
OAB has gone unappreciated as a medical condition for some time because medical experts have not given it much attention. As more and more people come forward and acknowledge OAB, the medical community has come to regard OAB as a medical condition needing more attention due to the negative impact it can have on people’s quality of life.
Overactive Bladder Relief
Bladder support products can help people find relief from a number of overactive bladder symptoms, including frequent urination and burning sensations in the urinary tract. OAB more commonly affects women, and it is crucial to address bladder issues early, as they can often be symptoms of, or lead to, larger health concerns like urinary tract infection or bladder tumors, or in some cases even strokes.
