5. OAB Affects Only Women
While it’s true that OAB affects females more often (experts estimate that around 16% of women live with OAB symptoms), men aren’t immune to the condition.
Women may begin to report bladder issues following childbirth or as menopause approaches, but men tend to notice symptoms a bit later. In fact, more men over age 60 complain of OAB than do women over 60. Men who notice OAB symptoms should head to the doctor for a closer examination – in some cases, an enlarged prostate could be causing the trouble.
