About Many people affected by symptoms of bladder control problems say they are too ashamed to tell their physicians. They need to know they are not alone. An overactive bladder and its symptoms can have a dramatic effect on the quality of life. Many people with this problem are afraid to engage in normal physical activities for fear of having an accident.
Some people believe that an overactive bladder is a normal part of the aging process.
But an overactive bladder is not normal at any age. Most overactive bladder problems can be successfully treated with medication and muscle training exercises. If you are suffering from symptoms of an overactive bladder, talk to your doctor to determine whether your problems are due to an overactive bladder, or some other cause.
