OAB (Overactive Bladder)

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition that causes a sudden and frequent urge to urinate, often accompanied by increased urinary frequency and, in some cases, leakage (incontinence). This occurs when the bladder muscles contract too often or at inappropriate times, even when the bladder isn't full. OAB can disrupt daily life and sleep, leading to emotional and social challenges. Factors contributing to OAB can include age, neurological disorders, or urinary tract infections. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, bladder training, medications, and sometimes medical procedures, aiming to improve comfort and quality of life.
