Symptoms like strong, sudden urges to go to the bathroom (also called "urgency"), frequent trips to the bathroom (also called "frequency"), and bladder leakage can be a sign of a treatable condition, sometimes called overactive bladder or OAB.

While this condition is common (1 in 6 adults), you may not have to put up with it as often. For adults, it can occur at any age. And you don't have to feel uncomfortable discussing your symptoms with your doctor — he or she is ready and willing to help.
