Ladies, have you ever had such an embarrassing experience: you are chairing an important meeting and suddenly you feel the urge to pee, your face is red and your colleagues are looking at each other; you are watching a romance TV series and at the critical moment you are always interrupted by the annoying urge to pee, so you have to stop watching several times and go to urinate; in the late autumn night, your sweet dream is awakened by the urge to pee, your whole body is cold after urinating and it is difficult to sleep anyway. More unfortunately, a few days later you catch a cold and feel sick; worse still, when you rush to the bathroom, as in childhood, inadvertently wet underwear? We can often see on TV commercials about various treatments for frequent and urgent urination in men, while no one asks for such symptoms in women. Medical research has found that this is also a disease called overactive bladder, which is caused by the involuntary contraction of the forceps urinis muscle during the bladder filling period. Urinary urgency is its characteristic symptom, as the contraction of the patient’s detrusor muscle causes a strong sense of urgency to urinate, often accompanied by frequent urination and nocturia, and if the contraction cannot be suppressed, it can also cause incontinence. This disease seriously affects women’s daily life and quality of life, and even has a negative impact on their sex life. The cause of overactive bladder is unknown, and symptoms may occur with increasing age, childbirth, menopause, and disease. Except for a small number of patients who do not have a clear cause, more people develop overactive bladder symptoms along with other diseases. The incidence of overactive bladder increases with age, usually after age 30 for women and age 50 for men, and it is estimated that between 50 and 100 million people worldwide have the condition. Epidemiological data from the National Overactive Bladder Disease Collaborative Group in 2003 showed its incidence to be 16.6% of the adult population. Epidemiological studies completed in Europe in people over 40 years of age showed almost identical results to those obtained in the United States, with an incidence of 17% of the population. According to the study data, roughly one-third of women in Taiwan have overactive bladder disorder. Although China, like other countries, has a large overactive bladder population, no more than 20% of the population seeks help. Due to the lack of awareness of this disease among some doctors and patients, and therefore the misconception that it is a normal physiological decline and involves personal privacy and shame about embarrassing issues, many women suffer in silence and do not go to the hospital, and therefore remain untreated for years. We would like to tell all women that overactive bladder is a condition that can be improved with proper treatment. The treatment of choice for overactive bladder disorder is a combination of behavioral and pharmacological treatment. Studies have shown that combined behavioral and pharmacological treatment is more effective than monotherapy, with 80% of patients improving as a result. If you or a friend has any of these problems, you can come in for an examination and treatment during my clinic hours. I wish all women a high quality and healthy life.
