Over Active Bladder Blog
Welcome to the latest Blog for The Patients Voice.
For this blog we are interested in the impact of having Overactive Bladder (OAB) on a person’s lifestyle. The purpose of this blog is to help us frame a research project into OAB by finding out the issues which are important to people who suffer from the condition. So your contribution is vital!
An overactive bladder is when the bladder contracts suddenly without you having control, and when the bladder is not full. Overactive bladder syndrome is a common condition where no cause can be found for the repeated and uncontrolled bladder contractions. Overactive bladder syndrome is also known an ‘irritable’ bladder or ‘detrusor instability’.
- Feel very free to tell us your story. In particular we are interested in the following questions:-
- How does OAB affect your daily life?
- How does OAB affect your family/lifestyle?
- How challenging is living with OAB and taking the treatment?
- Tell me about your medication for OAB?
- Do you take your medication as prescribed by your doctor?
Thanks very much in advance for your help. Please feel free to check back on the blog to see what others have said and perhaps contribute further thoughts.
I look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thank you very much for your input. Finally can I ask you to bear in mind when you blog that you comments will not just be read by other bloggers and The Patients’ Voice team but also , in some cases, the clients for whom we work.
Best wishes
Belinda
