Overactive Bladder – Advanced Evaluation & Effective Treatment by Dr. Premkumar K

Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by a sudden, frequent urge to urinate, often accompanied by urgency, leakage, or nighttime urination. It affects both men and women and can significantly impact daily comfort and confidence. Dr. Premkumar K, a specialist in Female Urology & Reconstructive Urology, offers comprehensive evaluation and modern treatment options to restore normal bladder control.

• Common Causes – Bladder muscle overactivity, urinary infections, hormonal changes, nerve dysfunction, diabetes, obesity, aging, bladder irritation, prostate enlargement (in men), and pelvic floor weakness (in women).

• Symptoms – Frequent urination, sudden urge to urinate, urgency incontinence (leakage), waking multiple times at night to urinate, and difficulty holding urine.

• Diagnostic Evaluation – Includes urine tests, bladder scan, uroflowmetry, urodynamic study, cystoscopy if required, and pelvic floor assessment to determine the underlying reason for overactivity.

• Medication Therapy – Advanced medications that relax the bladder muscles, reduce urgency, and improve bladder storage capacity for better control.

• Pelvic Floor Strengthening – Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and guided pelvic floor rehabilitation to improve bladder control and reduce leakage.

• Bladder Training Techniques – Scheduled voiding, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modifications to reduce urgency and frequency.

• Injection Therapy (Botox) – Minimally invasive bladder injections that relax the bladder muscle and significantly reduce overactivity for long-lasting relief.

• Neuromodulation Therapies – Advanced treatments such as PTNS or sacral neuromodulation to regulate bladder nerves and improve control in resistant cases.
