What is Overactive Bladder?
Overactive bladder refers to a group of urinary symptoms, primarily characterized by an urgent need to urinate. It can happen frequently throughout the day and night, and may or may not be associated with urinary incontinence. People with OAB often feel embarrassed and limit their activities, but effective treatment options are available. The condition can result from nerve signals between the bladder and brain misfiring or issues with the muscles of the bladder itself. Early management and intervention can significantly improve quality of life.
