Am I too young to have overactive bladder?

Question

I'm only 26 and today my Dr. told me that I have overactive bladder and I also keep getting bladder infections. Plus I have IBS is this normal for young people?

Answer 1

Void the bladder voluntarily a bit more frequently and drink cranberry juice for a couple of weeks and eat dried cranberries with plenty of fluids, make sure there is no family history of diabetes, check with your doctor always as you have been doing. No smoking, alcohol, drugs. Avoid stress and always try to have good sleep. Balanced diet, regular exercise and yoga will help.

Answer 2

yes, it is pretty normal.  Since you have bladder infections you will have to go to the bathroom  more often.  Just keep drinking plenty of water and take any antibiotics that the doc might give you.
