First-Line Treatments for Overactive Bladder
Update: 2025-09-08
Description
Overactive bladder (urgency urinary incontinence) can feel overwhelming, emotionally and physically. Many women silently cycle through denial, frustration, and finally, acceptance. But living with constant urgency or leaking before reaching the bathroom doesn’t have to be your “new normal.”
In this episode, I break down first-line treatments for urgency incontinence, the practical, foundational steps every woman should try before turning to medications or procedures.
You’ll learn:
- How to keep a bladder diary to identify your personal triggers (from sparkling water to coffee).
- Why pelvic floor strengthening is key—and the difference between doing Kegels on your own vs. with support.
- How to practice urge suppression—the 5 quick contractions + calming breath technique that really works.
- The power of bladder retraining to teach your body to hold more comfortably over time.
These tools don’t just improve symptoms; they put you back in control, helping you feel less isolated and more hopeful.
