Overactive bladder treatments aim to help people with a frequent and urgent need to pee. One common treatment is making changes in daily life, like learning how to control the bladder and adjusting behaviors. Another important treatment is taking medicine.
Some behavioral treatments include exercises for the muscles around the bladder, learning how to wait longer between bathroom visits, and changing the diet to avoid things that can make the problem worse. Research shows that talking to a therapist can also help with overactive bladder. Limiting how much you drink and avoiding things that can irritate the bladder can also be helpful. Studies show that these treatments can make life better for people with this problem.
