OAB Signs and Symptoms

When you have Overactive Bladder (OAB), you may experience:

  • Urgency: a pressing need to urinate. It can happen even when you don't really need to go. The urge can be so sudden and so strong that you have to run to the bathroom.
  • Urge incontinence: when you can't reach the bathroom in time and you leak or have an accident.
  • Urinary frequency: having to urinate more than about 8 times a day.
  • Nocturia: an urge to urinate that wakes you up at night (ENABLEX is not indicated for nocturia).

What about leaks or accidents
when I laugh or sneeze?

Another condition, called stress incontinence, may cause people to have leaks or accidents when laughing, sneezing, coughing, or lifting something heavy. Stress incontinence can result when the muscles that hold the bladder closed aren't able to squeeze hard enough. Stress incontinence and Overactive Bladder are different conditions, but a person can have both. Each condition is treated differently. A doctor can help determine which treatment is best. ENABLEX is not indicated for stress incontinence.
