OAB

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition where the bladder muscles involuntarily contract too often, causing a sudden urge to urinate. This can lead to frequent trips to the bathroom, often including urgent calls to urinate even when the bladder isn't full. OAB may result in leaks or accidents in some cases. It is not caused by infection or other obvious illness but is rather due to nerve or muscle control issues in the bladder. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, pelvic exercises, medications, or other therapies to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
