Are you saying the TUMT probably doesn't have anything to do with the overactive bladder?
“In people with an overactive bladder (OAB), the layered, smooth muscle that surrounds the bladder (detrusor muscle) contracts spastically, sometimes without a known cause, which results in sustained, high bladder pressure and the urgent need to urinate (called urgency).”
“A malfunctioning detrusor muscle causes overactive bladder.
Definitely get your bladder checked for a urinary track infection. I doubt that's the case. What you are describing is exactly how I felt. Peeing once if not more an hour. Pee, stand up, feel like I have more. Incredible urgency to pee. You give in to go and your lucky to pee half a teaspoon, but it felt like you are holding back niagra falls. I have an overactive bladder. You need to cut down all your coffee, pop, tea, alcohol, and spicy food. Drink plenty of water. I know I know.
About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with an overactive bladder after doing all the tests. I was put on Vesicare 5 mg daily and also was taking fluoxetine for depression and anxiety over this condition. After taking the meds for awhile my symptoms went away and I was symptom free for 3 years. Because of the expense of the vesicare and because I was doing so well. I decided to stop taking both medications. My bladder was fine and normal and then about a year later the symtoms came back.
So I have an overactive bladder that came from giving birth to my first 2 kids. It caused my bladder to lower and have pressure. and being pregnant my doctor said I couldn't take antibiotics. So I really going to h.eck trying to deal with an over active bladder which makes me urinate every half hour, plus the pregnancy that also makes me urinate even more. So I literally go to the restroom every 15 min. I'm so frustrated by it I wanna cry.
In summary, results of tests were a slightly enlarged prostate and in his opinion, an overactive bladder to be treated with Enablex. He did not seem concerned with my prostate.
Here's my problem. I am still having general urethra discomfort and persistent need to urinate but often without the ability to urinate. This has been going on ever since my initial UTI symptoms in mid-November and it's driving me crazy.
I did suspect HSV but you put that to rest.
m wondering if my doctor could prescribe something to help with my overactive bladder so I could keep taking the Lexapro or if I should just take something else instead. Lexapro is good in ways because it produces fewer side effects than any other SSRI med that I've tried and I've tried many of them. What do you think?
I just read your post about Atrial Fib and meds for overactive bladder. I have Atrial Fib, and my doctor wanted to prescribe Vesicare. I read up on this med, and found it could cause irregular heartbeats.
This makes me nervous. What medication are you currently taking for the bladder problem? Is it working for you, and does it cause a problem with the heart?
I would like to hear from you since I'm right in the middle of trying to find the right med.

HI, You sound like you have the classic symptoms of overactive bladder. Overactive bladder (OAB) is driven by the strong ugency to urinate. It commonly causes urinary frequency and many patients get up at night to void. About a thrid of overactive bladder patients can't make it to the toilet and leak urine on the way.
HI, It sounds like you had two problems that resulted in the bedwetting episode. First, it sounds like you have overactive bladder. Overactive bladder symptoms are urinary urgency, frequency and sometimes getting up at night to void. 5% of 25 yr olders have overactive bladder. You either have a structurally small bladder or its a functional problem where low volumes of urine in your bladder trigger the urge to void. Patients with overactive bladder "tend to urinate frequently".
Over the course of the year I avoided acidic food and drink and took various herbs known to soothe the bladder which slowly seemed to get rid of it. Since then I just seem to get an overactive/irritated bladder after a glass of red wine or my bladder feels irritated if I drink a ginger-based smoothie or something else like that.
I recently had what was diagnosed as a gall bladder attack. I had a scan of some sort done to "study" my gall bladder, and the result was that I actually have an "overactive" gall bladder. The attack lasted a full week although the intense pain lasted two days. For that week, I was rarely hungry and ate only fat free and cholesterol free foods. Since that week, I have felt totally fine and have been eating whatever I want.
What medication is the favorite for Overactive Bladder? So far, I've been thru two of them. I believe I have five more to go.
Please let me get some feedback from those of you who have this problem, and are taking meds that work.
The urine culture came back negative. He now thinks I have a vaginal irritation from the urine and overactive bladder and percribed ditropan. At night the burning seems worse but I am only up a couple of times. Also the burning is worse when sitting and lessens when standing. I also have pain in my left overy. He has completed an internal and vaginal swab. How can you tell the difference between overactive bladder and Interstitial Cystitis?
I had back surgey in April from a broken bone in the back, since then I had bladder problems, diagnosed with interstitial cysttitis.....years ago I had a bladder sling put in and in July the doctor did a bunch of tests and examined me and said the sling was still in place. The uroligist put me on Enablex which has been working, and I am due to go back in two weeks......yesterday, I started feeling almost swelled up at the opening of the bladder.....
I suggest you to consult a urologist and discuss these treatment options with him. First of he will assess the degree of overactive bladder and then he will decide the best treatment for that.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.
Also, while trying to urinate at night, it takes a few minutes for the urine to come out.....This has been going on for 18 months now. I had similar issues about 4 years ago, saw a urologist and had tests done, including a cystoscipy (sorry on the spelling). All the tests came back showing no problems. It went away for a year or two, and then the problem came back. Only now it is worse....In the morning, when I wake up.....The discomfort is so bad that I cant stay in bed.
