I am a new member, 29 year old female. I had surgery on my bladder two years ago and now I have some OAB symptoms as well as overflow/urge Incontience. Right now I'm looking for friends and suggestions on how to cope. It's gotten worse after two years it's gotten nastier. Thanks for reading.

Kind regards.

What did the doctors say? Did they give you any advice? Do you drink enough (according to your condition) ?

Hey,
My mother is 45 years old. She has always been troubled with bladder problems. It has literally ruined her life. We went to see many health officials, but everything was a total waste. They asked her to do certain kinds of exercises at home and some said that surgery is the only solution. My mom was very reluctant to do the surgery. Since mom thought surgery was the only solution, she endured all the constant leakages, the incessant UTI's etc. She was always scared whether she would accidentally go during one of our weddings, family road trips and the holidays. Whenever we went for our road trips, she would stop the car and run for a spot not visible from the road to pass urine.
Recently, my mom had met my husband's relative for a family get-together who also had these bladder problems and she had found a solution to it. The solution - pelvic floor therapy. She asked my mom to go see a pelvic floor physiotherapist in Toronto ( http://www.physiomobility.com/pelvic-floor-physiotherapy-toronto-north-york.html ). Apparently, the other woman's life changed forever when she had gone to pelvic floor therapist. She learned how to control her bladder and soon didn't have to worry about anything. Not even UTI. When my mom heard about this, she was totally relieved. I hope it works out for her. I just wanted to know more about this therapy? Will it take a long while to finally see the results? Do share your experiences and suggestions. It would be of great help!
