Better to take medicine or control the urge - OAB

46 M here. Recently (from past 1-2 months) started having constant urge to pee which is mostly there during day time and has not impacted night time sleep. Went to GP and he diagnosed OAB. Suggested two options - one if urge is controllable then better to avoid medicines and other to consult urologist for any medicines if finding it difficult to control. Now the issue is that urge is controllable but while doing office work, attention keeps on going to the urge which is kind of annoying. As I work remotely so I can take bathroom breaks in b/w easily. Wanted advise on whether to work on controlling the urge or it is better to consult urologist and get some medicine for same.
