(Concern) I urinate frequently due to an overactive bladder.

I urinate frequently due to an overactive bladder.

Until the year before last, my urination frequency was normal, and in fact, I went to the bathroom less often than others, but recently I have definitely been feeling that I go to the bathroom more frequently.

 

What is an overactive bladder?

Overactive bladder is a condition characterized by symptoms such as a sudden urge to urinate or difficulty holding urine even when the bladder is only slightly full. Treatment for overactive bladder is primarily handled by the urology department.

 

✅️ Sudden urgent signal to urinate!

Recently, I urgently go to the bathroom, but when I actually urinate, I only pass a very small amount, so small that it feels pointless.

Suddenly and unexpectedly, I feel an intense urge to urinate that is difficult to hold, with frequent sensations but only small amounts are being expelled.

 

My concern is experiencing very sudden and intense urges to urinate (the feeling of needing to urinate) more than eight times a day without any particular illness. Are there anyone with similar symptoms?

 

I find myself checking whether I might be unintentionally giving stimulation or applying pressure during daily life without realizing it.

 

Shall we keep a urination diary every time you experience sudden urgency that you cannot resist more than 8 times a day?

I heard that through a urination diary, we can obtain important information that cannot be determined by other tests, such as urination times during the day, urine volume, frequency of urination, fluid intake, and the number of incontinence episodes.

 

You can record from the 1st to the 7th, but generally, people record for about 3 consecutive days. Since you might forget or your memory might fade when you turn around, I'm also considering whether it might be related to urination.

 

I am curious about how people with similar concerns to mine are managing their lives wisely.

 

The prevention methods and improvement strategies I researched as well

I'll try to write it~~~~~~

Ultimately, through controlled intake and moderate exercise

It is correct that you need to take care of your body, but

It's hard to put it into practice!

People with symptoms like mine of overactive bladder

Everyone, stay strong~~~~~

 

 

In patients with chronic constipation, reducing meat intake and increasing vegetable and fruit consumption may help improve constipation.

 

Carbonated drinks contain artificial sweeteners, coloring agents, preservatives, and citric acid, which can irritate the bladder and worsen symptoms, so intake of carbonated beverages should be limited.

 

Caffeine should be limited because, in addition to its diuretic effect, it also stimulates the bladder.

 

Excessive fluid intake can also worsen symptoms, so fluid consumption should be appropriately regulated.

 

Since research indicates that obese patients have a higher risk of overactive bladder, appropriate exercise should be performed to control weight.

 

Chronic cough can worsen bladder irritation symptoms, so smoking cessation is necessary.
