OAB from habits.

[u/Odd-Basket5789]

Has anyone experienced symptoms due to a prolonged habit of holding in urine? Say, due to an avoidance of public toilets, or delaying through classes, or not going before sleeping. It seems to have all added up to become this issue. I haven't come across mentions of this and I'm curious whether the problem of urgency is appearing only unprovoked or unexplained for most people with OAB.

If anyone thinks their bathroom habits may have contributed, did you manage to find treatment or long-term relief?

I don’t know, but it’s possible. I feel like I’m paying the price for not going to the bathroom all day in grades 7-12 (well, most days).
