Overactive Bladder Symptoms

These are symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB):

A normal bladder functions like this:

  1. The bladder gets full.
  2. Your bladder muscle contracts and starts the flow of urine.
  3. You empty your bladder.

But here is what happens in some cases:

  1. The bladder muscle contracts when the bladder isn’t full.
  2. The bladder muscle works overtime.
  3. This causes overactive bladder symptoms like:
    • Strong, sudden urges (bladder urgency).
    • A frequent need to go to the bathroom (frequent urination).
    • Leakage or wetting accidents (bladder leakage).
