Controlling your intake of liquids can be tricky. You might think that cutting back on liquids across the board would reduce OAB. In fact, it can make urine more concentrated, which can irritate the bladder. On the other hand, it’s a good idea not to pressure the bladder by drinking too much liquid at once. Try these strategies:
- Drink plain water when you’re thirsty, from four to eight 8-ounce glasses a day. You’ll know you’re drinking enough if your urine is light yellow or almost colorless.
- Sip water throughout the day, instead of gulping down a lot at one time.
- Unless you’re exercising, don’t carry a large water bottle. It may tempt you to drink too much at once.
- If you’re waking up to urinate more than twice a night, drink most of your liquids during the waking hours. Limit how much you drink two to three hours before bedtime.
- If you take a diuretic, try taking it in the morning. That way you should be able to empty your bladder by bedtime
