What is an overactive bladder?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common but often hidden urinary problem affecting up to 60% of women at some point in their lives. It comes in two styles: dry and wet. Dry OAB – is when you get the urge to urinate frequency but nothing happens until you get to the toilet. Wet OAB (as the name suggests) means a little or a lot of leakage may occur before you make it to the bathroom.

Symptoms

• Needing to urinate more than eight times per day or getting up more than once a night

• Strong urge to go even if you haven’t consumed much fluid

• Leakage (urinary incontinence)

Why does is happen?

Dietary Triggers

Excessive fluid consumption. Excess fluid intake may alter your electrolyte balance so the water can’t get into your cells and just goes through you. Caffeine – can act as a diuretic in higher doses. More likely at about 200mg/day (2 espresso style coffees) but some people are more sensitive.

Alcohol – acts a diuretic

High sugar diet

Cranberry – although beneficial for preventing urinary tract infections it can increase the urge to urinate.

High dose supplemental vitamin C

Medication

Diuretics

ACE Inhibitors

Calcium channel blockers

Antidepressants

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Benzodiazepines

Other Causes

Stress and anxiety. Part of the “fight or flight” response is to empty the bladder.

Weak pelvic floor – pregnancy and childbirth

Nerve damage (spinal injury, herniated disc, diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis)

Kidney disease

Urinary tract infection (symptomatic and asymptomatic)

Increased pressure on bladder (pregnancy, obesity)

Menopause – lowered oestrogen levels are thought to change the muscle tone of the bladder

Treatment

To effectively treat OAB you need to address the underlying cause. Herbal medicine has a supportive role to other therapies such as pelvic floor exercises.
