Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am in relatively good health for an 82-year-old male. For the past six years, I have been having trouble with an overactive bladder. I need to urinate at least every two hours. Often there is a sudden urge, and I can barely make it to the bathroom. In the morning when I wake up, I generally have to urinate in small amounts two or three times during the first hour of waking up, even though I had to go at least three times during the night. It could probably due to the pills wearing out.
