You are suffering from OAB if you experience the following:
• If you happen to visit the bathroom for 7 to 8 times a day, you could be suffering from incontinence.
• If you have to wake up more than twice at night to go to the bathroom to relieve yourself.
• If you cannot hold the urine and you leak even before you have had the chance to reach the bathroom, you could be suffering from urge incontinence. The bladder would constantly feel full under such circumstances and you would always feel the urge to urinate.
• If you have a sudden urge to go to the bathroom and you just cannot put off the urge.
• If you have a sensation of pain while you are urinating or when you have the urge to urinate.
• If your flow of urine starts to decrease into dribbles and you have this feeling of not having completely emptied your bladder.
• If you have started wetting your bed or experience leakage of urine even while asleep.
• If you find incapable of emptying your bladder even if you want to urinate and you have to strain yourself to relieve yourself.
• If you are experiencing bladder and urinary tract infection frequently.
The leaky bladder symptoms are not limited to only leaking of urine. They vary according to the type of incontinence that you might be suffering from. If you have been or are experiencing any of the above symptoms, then it is wise to get yourself checked from a qualified doctor who can provide you with the correct diagnosis and help you with its treatment. If you wait for the condition to advance, it could have a negative impact on your over-all life and affect you socially and emotionally.
