Overactive Bladder: How a Bladder Diary Can Help

What to Track

Use a bladder diary to track information and symptoms such as:

• How much fluid you drink
• How often you drink
• How often you urinate
• How much you urinate
• How often you feel an urgent need to urinate
• When and how much urine you leak, if applicable

Talk to Your Health Care Provider

Goldman stresses that it’s important to have your health care provider check everything out if you have OAB symptoms. “There’s everything now, from certain exercises to plenty of medications to Botox injections and pacemakers,” he says. “We can do all kinds of things, so OAB is not something people should have to live with.”
