Could you have OAB?
The impact of OAB
You may feel you are coping well with your symptoms. But do you really want to "just cope?" Check the list below. Do several items describe you?
Do you:
- Skip long car rides?
- Find yourself rushing to locate the nearest bathroom?
- Stay home instead of going out with friends?
- Avoid places and activities where there might not be a bathroom?
- Map out all the local bathrooms?
- Often feel embarrassed because of accidents?
- Avoid being close to loved ones?
- Find yourself worrying about when your next accident will happen?
Maybe it's time to take the OAB Symptom Quiz. This awareness tool can't diagnose OAB, but it can help you talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Together, you'll see if an OAB medication like Toviaz is right for you.
