New Treatments For Overactive Bladder.
More than 33 million Americans undergo from overactive bladder, including 40 percent of women and 30 percent of men, the US Food and Drug Administration says. There are numerous approved treatments for the condition, but many tribe don't aim better because they're embarrassed or don't know about therapy options, according to an medium news release. In people with overactive bladder, the bladder muscle squeezes too often or squeezes without warning. This can cause symptoms such as: the neediness to urinate too often (eight or more times a day, or two or more times a night); the demand to urinate immediately; or accidental leakage of urine.

Treatments for overactive bladder incorporate oral medications, skin patches or gel, and bladder injections. "There are many curing options for patients with overactive bladder. Not every drug is right for every patient," Dr Olivia Easley, a superior medical officer with the FDA Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products, said in the FDA statement release. "Patients need to take the first bow out of seeking help from a health care professional to determine whether the symptoms they are experiencing are due to overactive bladder or another condition, and to umpire which treatment is the best".
