I went to a urologist with a couple of issues including this and my god was he so dismissive of my issues. Seemed more interested in whatever he was reading on his computer. Shrugged it all off as "nothing I can do about it". Learned more here than the specialist I paid to see.

For women. It is not always overactive bladder. My bladder issues turned out to be a rare ovarian cancer. The tumor was big and sitting on top of my bladder. I had frequent urination and UTIS. Pay attention to your body. I was misdiagnosed three times. Until a gallbladder attack landed me in the hospital for the beginning stages of sepsis. The CT scan revealed a large mass in my uterus. Was sent to an oncologist who later identified it as a rare type of ovarian cancer. Woman's symptoms are all too often ignored or misdiagnosed. Having a gallbladder issue is how mine was discovered. After months of symptoms. It should have been caught earlier. It's only by God's grace I'm still here. All too often doctors can overlook this in women until it is so obvious. Keep seeking help til you're heard. It could save your life.

As someone with a spinal cord injury, and who has seen countless medical professionals, this was so refreshing. Thank you for giving all of us the knowledge that most of us can’t get when we go see a doctor.

I was surprised my urinary urgency is now gone, after i tried low carb intermittent fasting.

Here is what stopped mine completely. I went to my gynecologist doctor and was prescribed bioidentical hormones. The prescription is filled at a compounding pharmacy not a CVS or Walgreen type drug store. It contains estrogen, progesterone and a touch of testosterone. Worked like a miracle and within a month my incontinence stopped. The issue started for me when I was going into menopause. I have using the prescription cream for a good 15 years now and am incontinece free. I suggest finding a doctor that prescribes and getting on it when you start to experience those little accidents and don't put it off until your hormones are too far off.

Seeing a urologist was the biggest waste of time for me. Her big solution was to have me take switch from taking taking two Tamsulosin pills once a day to taking one in the morning and one in the evening. I soon figured out that the Tamsulosin was causing my sinuses to bleed and I kept getting sinus infections (plus the Tamsulosin was doing nothing to improve my urinary issues). After the clinic dropped my call twice, I finally talked to someone at the urologist office (not a nurse) and she said that someone would call me back about my side effects. No one ever bothered to call me back. I quit taking the Tamsulosin and my sinus bleeding stopped the next day. Sell Big Pharma no matter the side effects. That's the state of the medical profession these days. My respect for doctors is currently at an all time low.

Thank you for the information in your OAB E-book. After successful chemo-radiation-BCG treatment for bladder cancer I have found myself constantly trying to manage my dehydration-constipation-over active bladder which aggravates sleep issues.... It took me a while to figure out that the meds I took to get a decent night of sleep, created constipation issues, which further aggravated my further affected What a syndrome to find oneself in ! At least I am cancer free.

Thank you Doc Malik for the free OAB guide

[SuffolkMensHealth]

Great video Dr. Rena ! We see clients like this all the time!

[vasantsande]

Thank you Dr. Malik for making this the most embarrassing subject easier.
I'm 76 and I have this problem since my school days. All my body organs
are functioning properly said my doctor recently. Foolish to say but I ain't
worried anymore since I met you here about a month ago. Pretty much I do
pee every 2 hours, I eat spicy foods and also fast foods occasionally.
Thanks again. God bless you.
