Clinical Diagnosis Process
Before starting any treatment, the condition is confirmed through a structured pelvic exam or rectal exam. This ensures that overactive bladder treatment in Dubai is accurate. Diagnosis is based on symptom history and urinalysis of a urine sample to rule out UTI (urinary tract infection) or blood in the urine.
Assessment includes:
- Symptom evaluation via a bladder diary
- Medical history review (checking for diabetes or neurological disease)
- Bladder function assessment using ultrasound scan to check postvoid residual urine
- Classification using overactive bladder ICD 10 standards
Personalized Treatment Options
Treatment is planned based on symptom severity. The goal is to improve bladder control and reduce urge incontinence.
Bladder training is used to increase bladder capacity and voiding intervals.
Kegel exercises are advised to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and the urinary sphincter.
Medications such as anticholinergics (solifenacin, oxybutynin) or beta-3 adrenergic agonists (mirabegron) help the bladder muscle relax.
Lifestyle changes include managing caffeine, alcohol, and fluid intake.
Advanced care, such as nerve stimulation (sacral nerve stimulation or PTNS), is considered for severe symptoms.
