What is Overactive Bladder?
Overactive bladder is a condition that involves sudden,
involuntary contractions of the bladder creating a sudden urge
to go. Overactive bladder condition is estimated to
affect 1 in 11 adults in the U.S.
Normally, the bladder stores urine until it receives a message that it is full. The bladder then contracts, the sphincters responsible for closure open, and urine is released. These messages are relayed from the bladder, through the spinal cord, to the brain and back to the bladder and sphincters. Anything that disrupts communication of these messages can result in overactive bladder symptoms.
Doctors do not fully understand the causes of overactive bladder. Feelings of urgency may come in association with certain situations such as being nervous before an appointment; hearing, seeing or touching water; or arriving home and knowing a toilet is near. Bladder irritants, such as coffee can also contribute to urgency both on a physiologic and psychologic level.
Overactive Bladder Symptoms
Overactive bladder symptoms include:
Urgency
-feeling the
sudden need to go even though your bladder is not full
Urge Incontinence
-involuntary loss
of urine due to urgency
Frequency
-frequent trips to the
bathroom
An overactive bladder may result in urge incontinence. With urge incontinence, the person receives a strong message to void, but cannot make it to the bathroom in time to avoid leaking. In many cases, a person may have both urge and stress incontinence. In this case a weakened sphincter mechanism is overcome by a sudden bladder contraction resulting in urine leakage.
Frequency is another common result of an overactive bladder. Frequency result when feelings of urgency lead to trips to the bathroom 20-30 times a day and/or getting up multiple times at night.
