Overactive bladder (OAB) is a medical condition affecting both women and men.
OAB is characterized by a sense of urgency to urinate, occurring with or without
urine leakage. It is usually associated with voiding more frequently and a
complaint of waking at night, one or more times, to void.
Urinary frequency, a symptom of OAB is typically defined as emptying the bladder
more than 8 times a day.
Urinary incontinence, or involuntary loss of urine, may be caused by many
different conditions. When urinary incontinence is due to OAB, it is associated
with strong sudden desires or urges to urinate, and an inability to make it to
the bathroom in time. This is different than stress urinary incontinence which
is a loss of urine associated with physical activity such as coughing and
sneezing. Women who have had children may experience both stress and urge
urinary incontinence.
