Caring for someone with OAB

Overactive bladder (OAB) is more common than many people think. Over 33 million adults in the country have OAB. So chances are someone close to you may have OAB symptoms.

The good news is that there are ways you can help. Here are some things you can do:

  • Encourage the person you care about to speak with a doctor to find
    out if they have OAB or something else.
  • Let them know that OAB is treatable. They don’t have to just accept
    its impact on their lives. You could also check out the
    Helpful tools & resources page for tips to help them make the most
    out of a doctor visit.
  • Talk to them about medicine and small lifestyle choices. Both may
    help in different ways to manage OAB symptoms. The Why a pill and a plan page on this site explains the way they work. Remember, no
    one should have to just put up with OAB. A doctor can help decide
    what treatment may work the best.

OAB Conversation Starters
It can be difficult talking with your doctor about your overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. These conversation starters and questions can help make your discussion a little easier. Print them out and bring them to your next appointment. Remember, these are just suggestions and may not apply to everyone. You may also come up with your own to share with your doctor.

If you plan to talk with your doctor about your symptoms, you could open the conversation with phrases like:

  • I have to go all the time. Sometimes without warning — I see my friends less because of it.
  • I miss being active. I don't go places if it will be hard to find a bathroom.
  • I'm frustrated at work because I'm always rushing to the bathroom.
  • I feel like I no longer have full control over my bladder—sometimes it leaks before I can get to the bathroom.
 

If your doctor says you have overactive bladder, you may want to ask:

  • What do you think is causing my OAB symptoms?
  • Are my OAB symptoms treatable?
  • Could medication help my OAB symptoms?
  • Will medication cure my problem?
  • Is there any reason I shouldn't take an OAB medication?
  • What can I expect from treatment?
  • Might Toviaz work for me?
  • How long will it take for Toviaz to work?
  • How long will I have to take Toviaz?
  • What are the side effects of Toviaz?
  • What else can I do to manage my symptoms?
  • Can you recommend lifestyle changes that might help my OAB symptoms?
  • Should I make any dietary changes?
  • Is there anything I can do to make my pelvic floor muscles stronger?
If you're looking for an OAB treatment, ask your doctor if Toviaz is right for you. It's a pill that comes with a plan.
