detrusor instability

Detrusor instability, also known as overactive bladder, refers to a condition where the bladder's muscle (the detrusor) contracts involuntarily. This can lead to a frequent and urgent need to urinate, along with possible leakage. People with this condition may struggle to control their bladder, resulting in disruptions to daily activities and sleep. It can be caused by various factors, including nerve damage, bladder inflammation, or certain neurological disorders. Treatment options often include lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes physical therapy to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life.
