Question 1

what can cause an overactive bladder (oab)?

Accepted Answer

See below: We are not sure what causes the oab but we know what can make the symptoms worse: caffeinated beverages, alcohol, and diuretics. The other medical term is bladder dysynergia or unstable bladder. The bladder is essentially going into chaotic inconsistent spasms.

Question 2

can an overactive bladder cause epidiymitis?

Accepted Answer

: You've asked several questions that suggest you're having several genital area symptoms. Overactive bladder cannot cause epididymitis. However, symptoms similar to overactive bladder (pain or discomfort in the pubic area, urgent and frequent urination, etc) can be associated with prostatitis or the male chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Google chronic prostatitis and CPPS and discuss w/ your doctor.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Coincidence: Hysterectomy is not known to cause an overactive bladder - that would be coincidence.

Question 4

Question 5

what could cause an overactive bladder?

Accepted Answer

Busy Bladder: An "overactive" bladder is a term used to describe frequent urination which can be due to many causes.  Some can be related to neurological issues, metabolic issues, obstructive issues or infections.  If you have no physiologic or physical issues it could also be a "perceived" issue and more psychosomatic.  Most commonly it is infection in a woman and a simple urine test at your doctor can check.

Question 6

what are the causes of an overactive bladder?

Accepted Answer

Many: Oab can be urgency / frequency (uf) or full blown urge incontinence (uui). Ufcauses: dietary, inflammation, infection (vaginal or bladder), hypertonic pelvic muscles. Urge incontinence: weak urethra, spasm or unwanted contraction of bladder muscle. Reasons for bladder "spasm" include neurologic (stroke, spinal cord injury, ms) or idiopathic (essentially unknown).

Question 7

what causes overactive bladder  and what are treaments?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Oab can be due to bladder irritants like caffeine, tomatoes, or alcohol, but it can also be due to infections, stones, cancer, or neurologic diseases.  Be sure to see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.  Oab can be significantly improved by using a bladder diary, avoiding irritants, not over-drinking, and using  "bladder retraining" with timed voiding.  Medicines are  available if needed.

Question 8

You should: first try to find a cause of your symptoms.

Question 9

what causes an overactive bladder and fever?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Overactive bladders are usually related to irritation of the bladder or nerve dysfunction. When the overactive bladder is associated with a fever and this is a new problem for you, this is probably an infection. You can self treat by drinking a lot of water and trying to acidify your urine with high acidity foods like citrus fruits and tomatoes. However, if you are fevering, call your md for abx.

Question 10

if i have an overactive bladder would it cause premature ejaculation ?

Accepted Answer

Your doc: Or a natural doc can test your hormone levels and rule out circulatory issues.  Also, a clinical psychologist can teach you skills to keep from focusing on your "performance" which interferes also.  Peace and good health.  The prostate is like what a plumber would called a "check valve" and the overactive bladder is not directly a cause.  Researchers say "Correlation does not imply causality."
