Overactive bladder : Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Overactive bladder is a chronic condition which causes a sudden need to urinate or leakage of urine when the muscles of the bladder contract involuntarily pushing the urine out of the bladder.

This contraction may occur due to damaged nerves of the bladder, the nervous system (spinal cord and brain), and muscles themselves.

The symptoms of an overactive bladder include:

Sudden and uncontrollable need to urinate

Frequent urination (> 8 times in 24 hours)

Nocturia (sleep interruption to urinate more than two times at night)
