bladder overactivity

Bladder overactivity occurs when the bladder muscles contract suddenly and involuntarily, creating a strong urge to urinate even when the bladder isn’t full. This condition results from abnormal nerve signals or muscle function, leading to frequent urination, sudden urgent needs, or sometimes leakage. It is often associated with aging, neurological issues, or other health conditions. Managing bladder overactivity may involve lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medications, or other treatments aimed at calming the bladder muscles and improving quality of life.
