detrusor overactivity

Detrusor overactivity is a condition where the bladder muscle (detrusor) contracts involuntarily during the filling phase, even when there's not enough urine to empty. This leads to sudden urges to urinate, frequent urination, and sometimes incontinence. It's often associated with nerve or muscle issues affecting bladder control. The condition can result from various causes, including neurological disorders or aging. Treatment options vary and may include bladder training, medications, or other therapies aimed at reducing these involuntary contractions and improving bladder function.
