What are the likely symptoms of Overactive Bladder?
The symptoms of overactive bladder includes: • Frequency – often having to urinate more than 8 times over 24 hours (including waking up to urinate 2 or more times a night); the need to urinate may occur soon after the bladder has been emptied. • Urgency – frequent, sudden, strong urges to urinate with little or no chance to postpone the urination. • Wetting accidents (also called urge incontinence) – involuntary loss of urine (a small or large amount) following a sudden, strong desire to urinate (urgency). Most people with overactive bladder experience only the symptoms of urgency and frequency (60%). The remaining 40% have wetting accidents (urge incontinence) in addition to urgency and, often, frequency.
