I am technically not allowed to post here, being 53, but the issue is related to aging. I have OAB, I wake up to pee several times during the night and during the day go often, especially when I exercise in a seated position. I recently intensified my exercise and that is when the issue surfaced and I finally acknowledged that I have OAB and sought help for it. I am going to see a pelvic floor physical therapist and she will probably guide me in timed voiding. Has anyone had luck treating OAB with behavioral interventions?

When I exercise in a seated position (recumbent bike, recumbent elliptical, rowing machine), somehow all this action and friction in the pelvic area triggers the need to pee. Yes, I drink a lot of water with electrolytes when exercising but still. I go to the bathroom three times during an hour session. This is clearly abnormal.

When I exercise upright, I do not need to go pee, even though I consume fluids at the same rate.

Has this happened to anyone? How are you treating it?
