Don't downplay your OAB symptoms, especially because they're likely affecting your mental, sexual, and emotional health. Speak up! Your health care provider should address them. bladdersmatter
When it comes to overactive bladder, women have a particularly hard time getting their physicians to address their symptoms. If your health care provider says everything"looks good" and your urine tests are clear, the issue tends to get dismissed.
If your health care provider doesn't acknowledge that you may have an overactive bladder, it only adds to the embarrassment and feeling like you should suffer in silence. It's common for women to buy pads in secret and hide their symptoms from their spouses and families. Don't downplay your symptoms, especially because they're likely affecting your mental, sexual, and emotional health. Your health care provider should address them or refer you to someone who can. If he doesn't, go elsewhere, Kavaler says.
It can be embarrassing, but it's important to tell your health care provider if you have the following symptoms and if they're disturbing your quality of life:Frequency: Do you urinate over eight times in a 24-hour period?Nocturia: Do you wake up at least two times a night to urinate?Stressing over travel because you have to pack pads and won't know where bathrooms are located.
