What Is Overactive Bladder and How It Develops
Overactive bladder occurs when the bladder contracts involuntarily even when it is not full, triggering a sudden need to urinate. This can happen due to nerve sensitivity, bladder muscle overactivity, hormonal changes, infection, neurological disorders, or post surgical changes. Some individuals develop symptoms without a clear underlying cause. Identifying the triggers helps create effective treatment strategies to improve daily life and reduce interruptions from urgent urges.

Does diet affect urgency?
Caffeine, alcohol, acidic drinks, and low hydration can trigger symptoms in some individuals.
When should someone see a urologist?
When urgency affects daily life, sleep, or leads to frequent leakage.

Many patients see improvement through combined approaches including training, medication, or further intervention if needed.
