What tests may I need at the time of my visit?
Before you decide to go to the doctor, it is a good idea to prepare in advance, such as keeping a urinary diary, listing any medications you have taken, bringing information about previous tests, and preparing questions you would like to ask the doctor.

How is overactive bladder treated?
Initial treatment consists of two main areas: behavioral therapy and medication.
Behavioral treatment: Fluid intake control: Your doctor will establish a fluid intake and intake schedule that is appropriate for you.
Bladder training: Delayed voiding, gradually bringing the volume of urine to greater than 300 ml per session. try a 10-minute delay at first, gradually reaching voiding intervals greater than 3 hours.
Secondary voiding: For patients who cannot empty their bladders, secondary voiding can be used, waiting a few minutes after the first voiding to void again.
Timed voiding: Patients with severe incontinence that is difficult to control can urinate at intervals of about 3 hours to reduce the number of incontinences and improve the quality of life.
Pelvic floor muscle training: Pelvic floor muscle training can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and urethral sphincter strength to enhance urinary control. Training can refer to the following method: continuous contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (lifting movement) for 2-6 seconds, relaxation rest for 2-6 seconds, and so on for 10-15 times. Train 3-8 sets per day. Pelvic floor training takes a long time to work and requires patience on the part of the patient to persist for more than 8 weeks.
Medications: A variety of medications can relieve symptoms of overactive bladder by inhibiting involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle. Commonly used medications include tolterodine, solifenacin, oxybutynin, etc. As the above medications may have certain side effects, please consult your doctor for prescription before application.
