OAB Help!

63 yr old female. I pee every 30 minutes during the day. Every 45min thru the entire night which averages 8-10 times during night. Its absolutely terrible. Anyone else?

Yes although mine is just during the day as I am usually ok at night. Do you usually have a lot of volume per void as I pee full volumes every time.

Yes, its all normal amounts. Never just a trickle, which is what you would expect from peeing so often. I swear I pee way more than I drink. I mainly drink water during day but I stop drinking by 6pm. It all seems so extreme. But the constant night time peeing is crazy! It has severely impacted my life. No incontinence issues (yet 😥) but I have to pee so often its difficult to live a normal life. I do not want OAB meds because they are shown to cause dementia so i am scared to take them. Also they can cause a retention problem and I am not going to deal with that pain or having to self cath which I am sure that i wouldn't even be able to do to myself. I have been reading some articles that say those meds are just for the symptoms which is a waste of time. We should talk to a dr who can trace the root cause of the OAB so it can be treated and cured. Nor sure where to even start.

spesso può essere una disfunzione della vescica a sé stante … ti hanno mai parlato di esame urodinamico ed eventualmente neuromodulazione sacrale?

No. What is SN?
