Another name for urge incontinence, which refers to the involuntary loss of urine immediately after the need to urinate is felt.
Bladder condition marked by increased frequency of contraction with an associated desire to urinate.
Occasional, involuntary muscle contractions in the bladder wall that can lead to urge incontinence.
An irritable bladder can be triggered by a urinary tract infection, the presence of a catheter in the bladder, a bladder stone, or an obstruction in urine flow due to an enlarged prostate gland. However, the root of the discomfort is sometimes unidentified. While antispasmodic medications might alleviate symptoms in some instances, treatment typically targets the underlying cause. Bladder training can also be beneficial.
