Overactive bladder - Urge urinary incontinence

This condition is characterized by urinary urgency, often accompanied by frequency and nocturia. UUI may or may not be present, and these symptoms occur in the absence of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other discernible pathology. Overactive bladder syndrome isn’t just a passing issue – it’s a chronic condition that can have profound impacts on an individual’s quality of life. The overall prevalence of symptoms associated with an overactive bladder is approximately 15% in women of all ages, but this prevalence escalates significantly with age.

Managing this condition requires a holistic approach. Lifestyle modifications and bladder retraining form the foundation of the management plan, accompanied by pharmacotherapy as needed. However, in cases where these methods prove insufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary. This can involve the injection of BOTOX into the bladder muscle, a procedure that has shown excellent results in reducing the severity of symptoms. In the realm of managing overactive bladder syndrome and UUI, we’re not just treating physical symptoms – we’re helping individuals regain control of their lives, improving their comfort and quality of life.
