Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Overactive Bladder
Question: hi, when ever I used to sneeze or cough, I felt pressure on my bladder for last two years.I used to feel urge to urinate from last one year but urine leak rarely. Since last month, I'm having urine leak in tiny amounts and feeling the urge to urinate little more than usual. Used to urinate like twice a day but now I am doing like four to six times. When I have coffee or soda, this urge increases. Also my stomach is bloating even when I eat very less or even when I don't eat anything. When I release the gas, the urge to urinate goes away. I do not have diabetes or blood pressure or obesity or any other diseases. I exercise 4-5 times a week like pushups but nothing like gym style heavy weights. I also had blood test, urine test as part of regular checkup less than 6 months ago and everything is normal . So, its mainly stomach bloating, flatulence, urge to urinate are the symptoms. Please suggest the next steps and over the counter drugs to control this.
