one way to treat overactive bladder is having botox . It is a toxin produced by bacteria in the soil is being used for everything from removing wrinkles to treating migraine headaches. Research suggests that injecting Botox into the bladder might relax the muscles enough to give OAB patients relief.

but there is also a natural way to

* Bladder training.This is the most common OAB treatment that doesn’t involve medication. Bladder training helps change the way you use the bathroom. Instead of going whenever you feel the urge, you urinate at set times of the day, called scheduled voiding.
* Pelvic floor exercises. Just as you exercise to strengthen your arms, abs, and other parts of your body, you can exercise to strengthen the muscles that control urination. Another method for strengthening pelvic floor muscles is with electrical stimulation, which sends a small electrical pulse to the area via electrodes placed in the vagina or rectum.

Until you get your overactive bladder under control, wearing absorbent pads can help hide any leakage that occurs.
