In sports, every moment counts. Whether it’s a heart-stopping basketball game or the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, fans eagerly glue themselves to their seats, unwilling to miss a single play. However, for individuals grappling with an overactive bladder (OAB), the intensity of the game extends beyond the field to a personal battle with their body’s demands. The struggle to balance the passion for sports with the uncontrollable urges of an overactive bladder often leads to missed moments, frustration, and a unique set of challenges.
Individuals with OAB face a constant battle between their love for sports and the relentless demands of their bladder. Every dash to the restroom means risking the chance of missing a grand slam, a spectacular dunk, or a jaw-dropping touchdown. The anxiety of potentially missing out on these pivotal moments looms like a dark cloud over their sports-watching experience.
There are several signs and symptoms of OAB since it covers a group of conditions, but some of the most common include:
Sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate
Leakage that cannot be stopped
Frequent urination (8+ times each day)
Nocturia (waking more than once per night to urinate)
