What exactly is behavioural therapy? How can it help an overactive bladder?
Behavioural therapy, where available, has been used for many years to treat symptoms of an overactive bladder. One example of behavioural therapy includes the bladder drill: an exercise designed to increase the period of time between periods of going to the bathroom, until the bladder becomes accustomed to the reduced frequency of going to the bathroom. The bladder drill is one of the earliest forms of behavioural therapies for an overactive bladder. Although behavioural therapy is known to be highly effective for reducing overactive bladder symptoms, people with an overactive bladder will often explore other options in combination with behavioural therapy to treat their symptoms.
