Can you have an overactive bladder one day and then be fine the next?

Posted , 6 users are following.

Some days I'll have to rush to the bathroom and still won't make it in time only to urinate the tiniest bit. This can happen from every 5-10 minutes to twice an hour. Other days, however, my bladder will be perfectly fine. Can this still be caused by an overactive bladder?

    Yes - Its sounds like you have an overactive bladder.

    Have you seen anyone about this?

    I can relate, it happens to me too. Yes the cause could be OB, for me the worst days are due a mix of factors like cold, liquid retention, weaker pelvic floor,...

    It's for the OB mainly and other causes make a difference.

    Absolutely. It's unpredictable and crazy-making. I'm about to have the interstim "test" device inserted. Have any of you done it, know about it, etc?

    Yes, yes, yes, exactly.

    "How did I sit through an entire movie without having to go, then came home and at the last minute I didn't make it all the way to the potty? WTF!"

    You are not alone, Isabella.
