Why Does Cancer Treatment Cause Overactive Bladder?
Cancer treatments can cause OAB through several mechanisms: - Surgery: Procedures involving the pelvic region can damage nerves controlling the bladder. - Radiation Therapy: Radiation can irritate the bladder lining, leading to symptoms of OAB. - Chemotherapy: Certain drugs can cause bladder irritation or affect nerve function. - Hormonal Therapy: Treatments affecting hormone levels, such as those for prostate cancer, can also impact bladder control.
