Overactive Bladder - UCLAMDChat | UCLA Urology

I know exactly when the cognition of my brain stopped telling my bladder to do it’s job. I had a stroke more than 11 years ago and a couple of days after the stroke struck, I just suddenly wet myself during therapy time in the rehab center. I just couldn’t believe that happened but it started a very long process of using pads and pull-ups and taking meds that didn’t work. I tried the interstem implant and it didn’t work. Nothing has worked for me until now. I am reluctantly going to try the Botox and I am praying that this will be my answer. I just can’t go on liking this. I am totally miserable.

One of the best video’s on OAB on current practice. I’ve learnt so much. Thank you Dr Ackerman.

So comprehensive and informative. Best video I’ve seen. Thank you so much.

This is very comprehensive and helpful. Thank you!!!

Thank you very much, Dr. Ackerman !

I love your explanation which is easy to understand to lay men. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

WONDERFUL ATTITUDE, DOC-----BLESSING FROM BOLIVIA

EXELLENT AND COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION DR. ACKERMAN. THANK YOU , DR. A.LEISER ISRAEL

Thank you for this. It’s reassuring. I’ve had a uti for ten days, and many of the non infection symptoms you suggest trouble me. Off to doc again tonight. I’m 79 next week, hysterectomy in my 30s.

Thank you soo much doctor,very detailed

Dear Dr, Ackerman Thank you so much for your clear and concise discussion, I love that you say it is not my fault and there could be various reasons and to stop beating myself over the head, as you explained I am 82 Male I have had a few UTI last one about 6 months ago resolved by antibiotics, now looking into restricting what I eat and drink, ( how much) kegel exercises losing weight thanks for showing me as to what could be done, I have a great Dr who listens to my concerns I am currently awaiting an appointment with a Urologist and will take it from there Love your sense of humour Thanks again, I am feeling better about this whole situation, as stress obviously can play a great part in this as well.

I am having OAB congenitally...and today I have come to know about my disorder completely..thanks 🙃

I like this doctor

Exceptional explanations and a very gentle doctor. I have had pretty severe OAB for about 3 years now and it's been awful. Im scheduled for Botox, but honestly I am afraid of what can happen to the bladder. Ive been a RN for 40 years...i know too much!!!

Thank you 🙏🩺

I can’t sleep because of this

Sneezing and coughing and cold chills

Intrresting.

What do you think about Interstem? Is it dangerous or should I worry about nerve damage or long term effects.
