Overactive bladder: Signs and symptoms

The bladder is the organ that collects urine from the kidneys and expels it when it is full. Ideally, a person can control their bladder, when they choose to urinate, and the amount of times they urinate during the day. When a person has an overactive bladder, they cannot always control these functions.

The condition occurs when a person’s bladder squeezes frequently or without warning. As a result, they may have to use the bathroom more frequently or urine may leak out.

The condition is usually the result of miscommunication between the brain and the bladder. The brain signals to the bladder that it is time to squeeze and empty, but the bladder isn’t full. As a result, the bladder starts to contract. This causes a strong urge to urinate.

While the condition may be common, it doesn’t have to mean a person has to live with the symptoms. Many treatments are available that can help people reduce their symptoms.
