Sensitive Bladder

Overview

An overactive bladder, also known as a sensitive bladder, is typified by an involuntary loss of urine after an urgent urge to urinate, frequent and sudden urination (more than eight times in a 24-hour period), nocturia (waking up during the night to urinate), and urge incontinence. The treatment of this illness, which can have a major impact on day-to-day functioning, may include bladder training, pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle modifications, medication, and occasionally surgery. For an accurate diagnosis and course of treatment, speaking with a healthcare professional is imperative.

What are the types of Sensitive Bladder?

Overactive bladder (OAB), also known as sensitive bladder, can be divided into several groups according to the following symptoms:

The symptoms of OAB with Urge Incontinence are sudden, strong pee urges followed by uncontrollably leaking urine.

OAB without Urge Incontinence: Consists of a constant, pressing need to urinate without any unintentional overflow.

Nocturia: Nighttime urinating that frequently interferes with sleep.

Mixed incontinence is the result of a combination of urge and stress incontinence, which manifests as leakage during physical movements like sneezing or coughing.

These classifications aid in the diagnosis and customization of treatment plans for patients with sensitive bladders.

Symptoms
