Bladder problems
Bladder problems can interfere with your everyday life. Frequent trips to the bathroom aren’t just annoying – they make it hard to leave home, go to work, socialise, or even just get a good night’s sleep. If this sounds familiar, it might be time to see a specialist.
How common are bladder problems?
Millions of people around the world have bladder problems. They’re more common as we get older and affect women more often than men. But anyone can have bladder problems, no matter their age or sex.
What are signs of a bladder problem?
Common bladder symptoms include:
- Needing to urinate often or urgently, including at night
- Feeling like you need to urinate straight after you’ve just been
- Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
- Urine that looks cloudy, dark coloured or bloody
- A slow or stop-start stream of urine
- Leaking urine
- Losing control of your bladder
It’s tempting to brush off the symptoms as a normal part of getting older. But they’re not normal, nor should you have to put up with them, whether they’re a minor inconvenience or significantly impacting your day-to-day life.
