Control frequent urges with bladder training Apr 3 6:28pm | By Marie Suszynski, Writer (@mariemayohecs)Comment receiving replies
2 questions:
1. Is there a chance that this problem can come from stress?
2. How do you differentiate these symptoms from those of a UTI?

@cehunt57, I wanted to address your question about differentiating bladder urges or overactive bladder (OAB) from a urinary tract infection (UTI).
I found this article:
- Overactive Bladder vs. Urinary Incontinence and UTI: What’s the Difference? https://www.healthline.com/health/overactive-bladder-vs-urinary-incontinence-vs-uti
"The sudden and frequent urge to urinate is common in both OAB and a UTI. If you don’t have any other symptoms, like discomfort while urinating, you may be experiencing an OAB rather than a UTI. The symptoms of OAB will be ongoing while symptoms of a UTI are sudden and may also be associated with a fever."

Possibly…anxious about going out in bad traffic and getting caught short..one feeding the other plus how much confidence I might have in the driver to get me to my destination safely. Have had a few bad experiences in the past.
