\"\"No one should have to live with OAB – including you<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re like a lot of people, you might think that bladder issues are just something you have to deal with as you get older – frequent urination, the need to go at night, the occasional accident when you can\u2019t make it to the bathroom in time.\u00a0The truth is, these aren\u2019t the inevitable signs of aging, they\u2019re actually symptoms of a medical condition called Overactive Bladder, or OAB. The good new is that it can be treated.\u00a0Data suggests that OAB affects about 37 million Americans, which is about 1 out of every 6 people. That makes it more common than vision problems and diabetes.\u00a0If you find that surprising, here\u2019s something that may be even more so: Over 6 out of 10 of patients with symptoms reported that they were not using\u00a0any treatment to manage their incontinence. In fact, just 1 out of every 8 Americans who\u2019ve experienced loss of bladder control have been diagnosed.That\u2019s unfortunate, because there are effective treatments for OAB that can make a meaningful difference in your life. Some of them are amazingly simple, too, like diet and lifestyle changes that can begin producing results before you know it.\u00a0If they don\u2019t work, there are medications you can take and even quick, in-office medical procedures that can reduce or eliminate your symptoms.\u00a0Take a look at the short video below to see for yourself – there\u2019s a whole world of treatment options out there that can help you get control of your bladder and get back your life:<\/p>\n

The first step to successful treatment, though, is to speak up. There\u2019s\u00a0nothing to be embarrassed about – the physicians in our office deal with OAB patients every day, and we\u2019re very good at making you feel comfortable about discussing what you\u2019re experiencing.\u00a0So if you find yourself staying close to bathrooms, avoiding fluids before
\nbed or using pads or liners every now and then, don\u2019t wait. We\u2019re here for you now and we have treatments that can really help.<\/p>\n
