Chronic bladder conditions, such as overactive bladder (OAB), bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC), and bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord injury (SCI), significantly impact patients' quality of life. Effective management strategies are essential to alleviate symptoms and improve daily functioning. This synthesis presents key insights from recent research on managing these chronic bladder conditions.
Managing chronic bladder conditions requires a multifaceted approach. Lifestyle and dietary modifications, pelvic floor muscle training, and appropriate pharmacological treatments are essential for symptom relief. Intravesical therapies offer additional options for BPS/IC, while clean intermittent catheterization is recommended for SCI patients to minimize complications. A patient-specific, interdisciplinary approach is crucial for effective management and improved quality of life.
