Possible Causes
Of An Overactive Bladder
There are several potential causes of an overactive bladder, including nerve damage from conditions like stroke or multiple sclerosis, and weakened pelvic muscles due to childbirth or aging. Other factors such as urinary tract infections, bladder abnormalities, excessive fluid intake, certain medications, hormonal changes, obesity, neurological disorders, and bladder muscle dysfunction can also contribute to this condition.
When to See a Doctor for an Overactive Bladder
Many people associate overactive bladder with frequent urges to urinate, but symptoms can range from minor inconvenience to significant disruption in daily life, depending on factors like severity and frequency. Many patients experience overactive bladder without ever receiving a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause. At Advanced Urology, we evaluate the underlying factors contributing to overactive bladder.
We can help manage overactive bladder symptoms before they worsen. If you have a history of overactive bladder, addressing the issue early can reduce the likelihood of symptoms progressing. It's important to consult a doctor if you're experiencing frequent, urgent urges to urinate, particularly if they disrupt your daily activities or cause embarrassment.
Signs such as frequent urination day and night, urine leakage, or difficulty holding urine should not be ignored. Seek medical attention if overactive bladder symptoms are significantly impacting your quality of life. Although overactive bladder is common, it is not a normal part of aging, and effective treatments are available to help manage it.
