Overactive bladder & leakage

Urgency, leakage & frequent visits

Urgency leakage differs from leakage during coughing or exercise. The circumstances and frequency help identify the type.

How it works

History and urine testing help exclude infection. A diary of timing, volume and leakage can help.

Visits & recovery

Options include habit changes, pelvic-floor training or medication, chosen by diagnosis and reviewed over time.

Risks & considerations

Avoid drastic fluid restriction; discuss health conditions and medicines. Blood or pain needs investigation.

Fees at a glance

Costs depend on symptoms, tests, treatment and insurance eligibility. Confirm coverage, self-pay services such as ED care, and testing-only charges. Bring insurance eligibility documents, medication records and screening results.

Common questions

Is all leakage treated the same way?

No. Urgency leakage differs from leakage with coughing or exercise; the circumstances and frequency guide treatment.

Should I restrict fluids?

Do not drastically restrict fluids. Keep a voiding diary and discuss health conditions and medicines.
