Can Diet Affect Overactive Bladder?
Overactive bladder, or OAB, is often an uncomfortable and frustrating condition. OAB can involve symptoms like incontinence (the leakage of urine), feeling the need to urinate urgently and frequently and nocturia (having to get up multiple times during the night to urinate).
Thankfully for patients, dietary changes can sometimes help ease unwelcome symptoms.
The National Association for Continence (NAFC) takes care to stress, “There is no ‘diet’ to cure incontinence.” However, some patients do see an improvement in symptoms by making certain changes.
