Over active bladder

I've been suffering from over active bladder for a while and severe constipation. I drink 7 cups of water a day and take colace to relieve the constipation but the oab is still a problem. I've tried a number of drugs but they mostly cause constipation so no luck. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as I'm trying to avoid botox injections and self catheterization?

Dude I feel your pain. I hate pooping. I've found that Wheetabix were the only cure for me. Two a day with fresh fruit and milk. Sorted. Xx

@phoenixfire92 , over-active bladder can be caused by retention, i.e. not completely emptying when voiding. This leaves you always wanting to go and can be a hot bed for infections. Don't fear self catheterization. It can be such a relief and give you back control. I'm now also using Botox. If you can manage the indignity of the procedure, it can be life-changing. :wink:
