More details are given about specific dietary measures and conservative treatments for overactive bladder patients including fluid intake, weight and specific exercises.
Ms. Sihra also talks about when to use, and more importantly, when not to use, various medications. And lastly, she looks at what the alternatives are for patients who fail first line treatments.
