Overactive Bladder Treatment

Through a comprehensive, ongoing analysis of a patient’s specific needs, our team can provide treatment for overactive bladder that may consists of:

• Behavioral techniques, such as bladder training (delaying urination for a few minutes every time there is an urge to use the restroom) and double voiding (urinating twice in short succession to ensure the bladder is fully empty)
• Lifestyle changes, such as fluid and diet management
• Pelvic floor physical therapy, including Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urination
• Medications to relax the bladder muscles, make it easier to empty the bladder, or calm an overactive bladder (estrogen supplements may also be recommended for women)
• Overactive bladder surgery, such as bladder augmentation (a procedure in which part of the bowel is used to increase bladder capacity)
• InterStim, a small medical device that is implanted under the skin, where it sends small electrical pulses to the nerves that control bladder function

Our team of urologists work one-on-one with each patient to help determine the most fitting treatment option for you. When it comes to overactive bladder treatment, a bit of experimentation may be needed to find the most effective combination of therapies for each person.

We treat overactive bladder in both men and women, and work with patients of all ages. To learn more about overactive bladder treatment at Florida Medical Clinic or to request an appointment with an experienced urologist, contact us today.
