Overactive Bladder (OAB) Symptoms

Like many people, you may think Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms like urge urinary incontinence and frequent urination are just a natural part of aging. And not a sign of an underlying medical condition.

But OAB is not brought on by age. It's a chronic condition with specific symptoms that may include:

  • urge urinary incontinence – an uncontrolled loss of urine (you may also know this as leaking, wetting accidents, or loss of bladder control).
  • strong, sudden urges to urinate – even if your bladder isn't full (you have to hurry to get to the bathroom in time).
  • frequent urination – going to the bathroom often.

Answer the OAB symptom questions to see if you may have OAB symptoms.

Finding OAB symptom relief

The physical symptoms of OAB can affect your life. And not in a good way. It's not uncommon for people with OAB to:

  • limit daily travel and activities to places where there are bathrooms
  • reduce fluid intake
  • carry extra clothing in case of a wetting accident
  • feel embarrassed, frustrated, anxious and depressed
  • avoid sexual intimacy

That's why it's important to talk to your doctor about OAB. And how you may find relief from your OAB symptoms with SANCTURA XR®, a once-daily OAB medicine that's approved to treat all three symptoms of OAB in as little as one week.

If you're not sure what kind of doctor to talk to, start with your primary care physician. You may also want to consult a urologist — a doctor who specializes in urinary tract health.
