What it is
With overactive bladder, the bladder squeezes urine out at the wrong time. You may have it if you have two or more of these:
- urinating eight or more times a day, or two or more times at night;
- a sudden, strong need to urinate right away;
- leaking urine after a sudden, strong urge.
You may also have incontinence — loss of bladder control.
Causes
Nerve problems, too much fluid or too much caffeine can cause it, but often the cause is unknown.
Treatment
Your doctor may prescribe a medicine to calm muscles and nerves, as a pill, liquid or patch.
Side effects and how to handle them:
| Side effect | What helps |
|---|---|
| Dry eyes | eye drops |
| Dry mouth | sugarless gum or sugarless hard candy, and small sips of water through the day |
| Constipation | talk with your doctor |
