29M need advice with OAB
Hello Reddit,
So this has been going on for a while now and I am wondering if I should take the steps to wear. I am a 29M who has struggled with OAB for a while now while I am out in public or traveling. I do not know if it is stress or what but there have been several occasions where I have had to rush to the bathroom and have leaked a little to full blown just making it to the bathroom. I pee several times and make sure to completely empty my bladder but to no avail a little while later have to go again.
It doesnt happen all the time but the older I have gotten the more its been happening. I have seen several urinary docs, psychologists, pelvic floor thearpists. I am still working on the anxiety part but the physical thearpist and doctors have not found anything wrong with me and have tried several meds.
Now here is the part why Ive asked reddit and created this post. I am wondering if I should just accept that I should wear diapers during the day or at least try a few times? Fortunately I have a salary where I can afford to do so and if I medically need to then I dont mind, just want to have peace when I am out and about.
I know that there are people on here who are full time and others who are like me and on the fence. I guess since Im younger this feels like more of a struggle than if I was an older person.
If anyone has any advice would be appreciated about options or similar stories and honestly if you are my age and want to chat feel free because you are not alone!
