About Bladder Problems

Bladder problems, managed by an Internal Medicine specialist, encompass a wide range of conditions affecting urinary storage and function. These include urinary incontinence, overactive bladder (OAB), urinary retention, and interstitial cystitis. The specialist conducts a thorough evaluation, starting with a detailed medical history, physical exam, and often a urinalysis. Further diagnostic steps may involve bladder diaries, uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, or urodynamic testing to pinpoint the underlying cause. Treatment is highly personalized and may include lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), bladder training, medications, or referrals for specialized procedures. The goal is to restore comfort, improve quality of life, and prevent complications like recurrent infections.
